Since 2006, Amazon Web Services has introduced far more than 2,500 new services and features, and around 90% of them were the result of wishes articulated directly by customers. The firm developed a solution that sends data about mission-critical systems from the shop floor of their customers into the cloud.

I moved to the US in 2006 as there were many more opportunities there, especially in kernel engineering and performance. Last year I published [Systems Performance 2nd Edition], which I wrote from my home office with help from remote contributors. Another reason is that the tech market became stronger in Australia.

However, in today’s vastly more complex environments, such data offers no overarching view of system health.

This prevented companies from losing employees with systemic knowledge of the business and intimate knowledge of customers.

Instead they built an AppCache style system which didn’t work in all the ways AppCache didn’t work (which they couldn’t have known at the time). Meanwhile IE 6’s momentum assured its place as the boat-anchor-browser. Was that better? Not hardly.
