Back in the 90s, Jeff Bezos went on record as hoping his employees would wake up on the wrong side of the bed—for the greater good, or for the customer at the very least.

Here’s the archived version to bypass the paywall:
Luck was on his side. I guarantee you that there were 50 or more people with the same idea at the same time, maybe even with a bigger wad of cash to throw at their company. But luck defines so much in our life throughout our whole career. It’s the same, probably more so, with artists. Has a lot to do with who you know.
I also know Bezos worked a lot for this, it wasn’t just presented for him on a silver platter, but still. The amount of wealth he’s gathered is so shamelessly enormous, there’s bound to be victims because of it. And he takes zero responsibility for that.
