What we can confirm
Evaluating the underlying claim: that AWS CEO Matt Garman confirmed Amazon plans to hire about 11,000 software development interns and full-time employees in 2026, said AI is reshaping rather than replacing developers, and that Amazon recently completed layoffs totaling around 30,000 corporate roles across late 2025 and early 2026. The core hiring-and-AI portion is strongly supported by multiple high-quality reports and a direct interview transcript, while the layoffs portion is also supported by reporting, though the exact '30,000' figure is presented as a rough total across a period rather than a formally confirmed company-wide count in a single official statement.
