How To Pitch Jeff Bezos (And Other Giant-Brained Aliens)

big.brain.alienIs Jeff Bezos really like a giant-brained alien? In categorizing the Amazon founders unusual genius, Google (and former Amazon) engineer Steve Yegge compares Bezos and those like him to hyper-intelligent aliens with a tangential interest in human affairs." He is not trying to be disrespectful. He is just trying to explain how to go about pitching an idea to someone like Bezos. (The short answer: assume he already knows everything about the topic you are going to present, no slides, and "delete every third paragraph" of your pitch).Yegge does this in a follow up post on Google+ to his earlier rant on Google+ and Amazon.
