The link you provided begins with the declaration:

I am not a journalist and even I would question the "good journalism would include" assertion given the source provided.

> I find it somewhat overblown.

As I quoted in a peer comment:

  Dave Treadwell, Amazon's SVP of e-commerce services, told 
  staff on Tuesday that a "trend of incidents" emerged since 
  the third quarter of 2025, including "several major" 
  incidents in the last few weeks, according to an internal 
  document obtained by Business Insider. At least one of 
  those disruptions were tied to Amazon's AI coding assistant 
  Q, while others exposed deeper issues, another internal 
  document explained.
  
  Problems included what he described as "high blast radius 
  changes," where software updates propagated broadly because 
  control planes lacked suitable safeguards. (A control plane 
  guides how data flows across a computer network).
If the above is "overblown", then the SVP has done so. I have no evidence to believe this is the case however.

Do you?
