#395: Building Digital Systems to Address Human Needs: A Conversation with Amazon CTO, Dr. Werner Vogels Oct 04, 2020

Show notes

Even as most of us are trudging through our days within the boundaries of our homes, our digital lives are roaming farther and faster out there in the world than ever before. Simon sits down with Amazon CTO, Dr. Werner Vogels, to hear where his digital life has roamed recently, and what he has seen along the way. That includes everything from people with almost no coding skills quickly building applications to help their communities get through this hard period, to the notion of customers dialing-in “cost aware architectures,” and startups tackling the world’s toughest problems on Vogels’ show “Now Go Build.” Running through every example Vogels gives is the idea that, especially now, we have the ability and the need to build digital systems that address our very human needs. Oh, and music to listen to when you are coding until 4 a.m. Now Go Build YouTube Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhr1KZpdzukdIpgzSSCkNsnRAwDz6Xx5B Now Go Build on Prime Video: https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/B08GQLV5NK/ref=atv_dp_season_select_s2
