They’re going to regret this in the long term. Amazon had to hire back a bunch of engineers because the Indian vibe coders they used to replace them weren’t able to handle Sev 2 incidents in a timely manner.

Amazon doesn’t hire vibe coders from India; they have coding tests and interviews. Besides, the tech industry is laying off people in every country.

@kumaryashasvi5391 yes they do. I worked there until I was laid off in January. On the day that we left they added 19 people from Hyderabad to our slack channel.
I found out from one of our partners that they were heavily using Kiro to do everything and system upstime fell off a cliff.
Now my skip manager is reaching out to everyone who he let go trying to get them to return.
