Episode notes

Lex Freedman's five and a half hour interview with John Carmack is so good. I have not watched any of the new stuff, but I feel like Lucasfilm just needs a new start. The IP also doesn't really lend itself well to cereals. You can totally become an acquired LP and get early access to our LP episodes at acquired.fm slash Slack.

So, how DID an online book retailer end up building the infrastructure layer that powers the entire internet? (Or at least 39% of it, per latest market share data.) While many myths, legends, and some downright falsehoods exist, the real answer to that question deserves a full Acquired episode of its very own. So here it is: the story of Amazon Web Services. Who’s got the truth? Tune in and find out. :)
