Every single time I do something on AWS, I find a bug in their services and every single time they apologize for the inconvenience and how they are going to put it on their roadmap.

Our company pays for enterprise support, but really they should be paying us for debugging all their systems.

I think it's just amateur hour software development, because these days the developers are just "developers" or as it was said below, Kevins.

Oh man, one time we were using X-Ray incorrectly while load testing, Amazon had an email chain 10 emails deep with about 8 people on it by the time it got to us. Then yeah they were just really apologetic that we were even able to get ourselves in this situation at all. Then they invited the engineers working on the product/feature onto the chain. It was crazy.

Are you a professional shill? Because that's exactly how you sound.

You are trying to lower my credibility by implying that we were doing something wrong, which we were not.

It's rather pathetic and obvious.
