Speaking Truth to Power in Tech with Dai Wakabayashi
Join Corey and Dai as they explore the world of tech reporting and Dai’s recent article on AWS in particular while touching on a number of topics, including how AWS evolved from a platform everyone built on top of to one that runs everything built on top of it, why it’s incredibly difficult to capture all the nuances of the world of open source in a single article, the collaborative nature of writing the news, how a journalist can tell when they’ve written a story that doesn’t have mistakes, why Amazon as a trillion-dollar company should expect more scrutiny, what it was like to try to get people to go on the record talking about AWS, and more.
