> Would netflix benefit from just throwing more hardware at the problem vs paying more engineers 400-500k/y to optimize?
Where the CDN boxes go, you can't always just throw more hardware. There's a limited amount of space, it's not controlled by Netflix, and other people want to throw hardware into that same space. Pushing 800gbps in the same amount of space that others do 80gbps (or less) is a big deal.
