Amazon Inc. is huge, and seems to be taking over everything. And it sucked me in. I started working there in August 2019. It was an unexpected shift, and it has been all consuming (hence lack of any updates here).

Amazon has 14 leadership principles, and they really follow them, and use them everyday. There is a wonderful obsession with customers and making them happy. As well as a long-term mindset. As well as delivering results. They all work together. Also I believe they are the main reason Amazon has been so successful. Coupled with some other key concepts such as working backwards, a culture of narrative writing and reviewing, a technique of two-pizza work teams, and you have an engine for creating technology driven disruption. It has been quite interesting.
