Someone should tell that guy to buy a new keyboard with a working "shift" key.
Seriously, I can't understand why someone chooses to willfully ignore the most basic grammar rules just "to be different". This just makes everything harder and annoying to read.
Author of the post here. Thanks for the feedback, this was my first publish and was trying out this writing style. Noted that it doesn't go along well and changed.

It’s deliberate. He is looking for a c suite position. When you get to that position you don’t have time for those sort of silly rules, these are for plebs.
You will see it a lot when you communicate with these types of people. Let me get chatgpt to articulate this better for me

It’s just LARP. Execs, especially CFOs, drop punctuation and write like telegrams to signal efficiency and authority. It’s not about saving time—it’s a performative shorthand that says “my attention is scarce, yours isn’t.” In practice it’s just a cargo cult of busyness that reads more like insecurity than decisiveness.

That's similar to when people send me audio messages on WhatsApp instead of texting me. My position is that if you have no time to type a proper message, I won't have the time to listen to your blabbering.

This was a good interview. The points may seem basic but so is wisdom. Anyway it should not be flagged. We’re flagging articles like this because what - lack of use of sentence case? Because harder questions weren’t asked in some online user’s opinion?

Appears that our author was present whilst either he gave a talk with no questions or a tame interviewer asked Werner soft questions with no follow-ups. Absolutely no pushback or challenge to anything he's reported as saying. Nothing along the lines of 'I keep reading AWS customers describing the quality of support and support staff declining over the last year or so. This seems to correlate closely with AWS push to full time RTO. How do you respond to this data?'

> a few days ago, i had the surreal experience of joining a private fireside chat with werner vogels, the cto of amazon, during startup summit 2025 in florianópolis. it's one thing to follow his talks online – it's another to be in the same room, listening to him unpack two decades of lessons from building some of the most critical infrastructure on the internet.
It seems he does indeed tell us that he was a listener in a small-audience conversation that Vogels had.

Thankfully nothing along the lines of this suggested wild speculation to try to get a rage bait headline.
Dishonest trolling is not a challenge or pushback. Nothing constructive comes out of this.

Wouldn’t that be jumping to conclusions?

A leading question is a totally different thing from jumping to conclusions

What’s with this trend of not capitalizing and punctuating? Are we running out of budget for capital letters? It makes the writing look sloppy and pretentious. Who is the author trying to impress?

This was not a good interview, it was servile and lacked any meaningful exchange.
