“There’s one category of large technology providers, like some of the ones you mentioned, who decided to build an abstraction much further up the stack. I don’t know exactly why they pursued that. I think some of it might have been just a feeling like the basic building blocks were too basic, that what people really wanted was something much more abstracted.?We were very focused in the early days on developers and on startups, and we still remain incredibly focused on them, but we had this perception that they would be the ones who would try the platform first, their alternatives were much worse than enterprises, they tend to start and adopt any new paradigm shift like this was, and that group of people is willing to dig into the details and stitch together the components maybe in a way that enterprises weren’t as likely to do. So we started there, and we figured that enterprises would choose to have a bunch of people who did that stitching, and then for others who would want abstractions further up, we’d build the abstractions later when we had that adoption. I think some of the other folks, either because their customer base focus was more enterprise, and/or maybe because they thought the building blocks were too primitive and not interesting enough, started in another spot.

“What is this, 2013?” is what I probably would have replied sarcastically. Alexa was more game, joking, “Everyone asks what the fox says, but no one ever asks how the fox feels.”
“We recently made the decision to offer free shipping throughout the season,” said Target CEO Brian Cornell, in a statement. “It’s an easy way to eliminate one of the most common hurdles that’s associated with online shopping. No one likes being surprised with shipping charges when they go to check out, so a standing free shipping offer for the holidays just makes sense.”
