Assuming this has a lot to do with Google's TPUs. Google is well positioned to be the AWS for AIs given the increased efficiency of TPUs, which only they have.

Could be other way round too. Meta wants to use their own data centers capacity for their custom AI solutions. Generic compute and storage for online and batch workloads can be moved to Google cloud infra.

Of all the things I would absolutely not trust the stock market to evaluate, "technical competence" is either near or at the top.

The people deciding how much OpenAI is worth would probably struggle to run first-time setup on an iPad.

I agree. Seems like people took my comment above as my opinion. It was supposed to be argument of Linkedin type AI hype generators.

I've been starting to think of it like this:

Great Engineer + AI = Great Engineer++ (Where a great engineer isn't just someone who is a great coder, they also are a great communicator & collaborator, and love to learn)

Good Engineer + AI = Good Engineer

OK Engineer + AI = Mediocre Engineer

Not Engineer + AI = Now an Engineer

Thats the reason for high valuation of AI companies.

Maybe source of "AI replacing junior staff" is the statement AWS CEO made during a private meeting with client.

Holy shit the amount of overcomplications to serve simple HTML and CSS. Someone really has to justify their job security to be pulling shit like this, or they really gotta be bored.

If anyone can _legitimately_ justify this, please do, I'd love to hear it.

And don't go "booohooo at scale" because I work at scale and am 100% not sure what is the problem this is solving that can't just be solved with a simpler solution.

Also this isn't "Netflix scale", Tudum is way less popular.

Come on. These guys are Avengers: Infinity war against simplicity.

I remember being interested in their architecture when I attended re:Invent in 2018. I went to four separate Netflix talks given by four separate people with wildly different titles, teams and responsibilities. The talks had different titles indicating a variety of topics covered. Two of these talks weren't even obviously/outwardly Netflix-focused from the description -- they were just talks supposedly covering something I was curious about.

All four speakers ran the exact same slide deck with a different intro slide. All four speakers claimed the same responsibility for the same part of the architecture.

I was livid. I also stopped attending talks in person entirely because of this, outside of smaller more focused events.

I don't know because I have not been to AWS Re:invent. But from what I have seen at workplace is that trip to this event is equivalent of corporate junket for mid-level developers who happened to be manager's favorite.

Am I naive thinking this infra is overblown for a read-only content website?

As much as this website could be very trafficked I have the feeling they are overcomplicating their infra, for little gains. Or at least, I wouldn't expect to end having an article about.

geodel · 5 days ago

Not naive but perhaps missing that army of enterprise Java developers that Netflix employ do need to justify their large salaries by creating complex architecture to handler future needs.

What about the guy that sits at a computer and works through an issue queue changing the color of buttons or adding an extra 2px of padding to a class or writing glue code so one API can talk to another API?

geodel · 6 days ago

Oh no, those are highly skilled professionals as API Integration Architects and Gartner tells me we currently have shortage of 230,000 of those. Hence we need import these best and brightest from outside.
