I worked for AWS for a few years under Andy. He's a good pick for CEO of that company.

I see the future of Amazon as ~ 100% AWS. Do you think this will change that outcome?

How did you get to that conclusion?

I'd say AWS + first-party products and services (Prime Video, Echo, Kindle, Grocery delivery). I can definitely see their pure retail business take more and more of a back seat as time goes on.

without Andy (and AWS), I'd posit that Jeff would just be another regular old billionaire who'd own a sports team, but otherwise folks would not know much about.

I'm pretty sure you're wrong.

Most people have no idea what AWS is, but know what Amazon the consumer business is.

AWS is only well known among tech circles.

Ask outside tech bubble and 9/10 never even heard of AWS,even though half of the things they use run on it. The retail front-end is the PR, while AWS is a magic money tree.

Will he stop immiserating the warehouse workers that work for them?

a living wage (as defined by the internet's favorite vermont politician) is immiserating?
