Jeff Bezos Letter to Shareholders 2010 year

Continuing the topic of RnD (Research and Development)I want to remember letter Jeff Bezos to shareholders in 2010 year. In this letter, Jeff talked about the importance of common approaches and tools. Here are the highlights I have noted for myself: *- Many of the problems we face have no textbook solutions, and so we -- happily -- invent new approaches.

• We’ve leaned heavily on the core principles from the distributed systems and database research communities and invented from there.
• All the effort we put into technology might not matter that much if we kept technology off to the side in some sort of R&D department, but we don’t take that approach. Technology infuses all of our teams, all of our processes, our decision-making, and our approach to innovation in each of our businesses. It is deeply integrated into everything we do.*

In my opinion, the approach is similar to that described in Google’s hybrid approach.
