AI Code Breaks Amazon From Inside & This Startup Wants to Abolish Night
11 Mar 2026
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Good morning, Brew Daily Show. I'm Neil Freiman. And I'm Toby Howell. Today, the startup that wants to abolish night.
Then AI code is breaking Amazon from the inside out. It's Wednesday, March 11th. Let's ride.
Just when you thought the protein craze couldn't get any weirder, it has.
Chapter 2: What internal issues is Amazon facing due to AI coding errors?
Buffalo Wild Wings announced a chicken wing-flavored espresso proteine, which contains 10 grams of protein and is infused with buffalo dry rub, a spice mixture that will also be spread around the rim. The new drink, or abomination, is rolling out ahead of National Espresso Martini Day on Saturday and will cost $12. Toby, this sounds great, actually.
An espresso proteine. What a world we are living in. Rimmed with buffalo dry rub is a stroke of genius. I am of the mind that if you combine three awesome things, you just get an awesomer thing. Protein shake, espresso martini, and wings. Mnas a toi, those things. And then head directly to the bathroom because that is not going to sit well. And now a word from our sponsor, TaxAct.

Amazon has been generating too much code with AI and it's breaking their systems. Such was the topic of a big meeting called by the company yesterday that took a deep dive into the spate of outages affecting the business recently. Last week, Amazon's store malfunctioned for a few hours, which the company attributed to a software code deployment.
In December, the company's cost calculator was down for 13 hours when Kiro, its AI coding tool, decided the best way to change the code was to delete and remake the entire system. According to Financial Times, the meeting led to a new policy being put in place. Junior and mid-level engineers now have to get senior engineers to sign off on any AI-assisted changes.
AI shipping code is sort of like having a bowl in an Amazon shop. It's really good at doing a lot, but things are certainly breaking. Software in general seems to be getting less reliable. OpenAI and Cloud both dropped to 98% uptime during February, which sounds good, but in reality means there have been multiple outages.
