I&#x27;m a highly biased former Amazonian.<p>I was expecting some real wisdom in this story, but I don&#x27;t think this qualifies him as a technical leader in any way. I don&#x27;t even think this needed the cargo-cult-y &quot;leaving the room and coming back with a paper that changes everyone&#x27;s mind.&quot; Couldn&#x27;t he have just asked for a plan? And the ROI? That seems like management 101.<p>I have no love for him, but he is a genius. This story doesn&#x27;t do him any justice (nor is the paper particularly compelling).
