I'm an engineering manager at a Fortune 500 company. The dumbest engineer on our team left for Netflix. He got a pay raise too.

Our engineers are fucking morons. And this guy was the dumbest of the bunch. If you think Netflix hires top tier talent, you don't know Netflix.

I can +1 with a similar anecdote.

They obviously have some really good engineers, but many low-tier ones as well. No idea how long they stay there, though.

I'm watching the fight now and have experienced the buffering issues. Bit embarrassing for a company that fundamentally only does a single thing, which is this. Also, yeah, 900k TC and whatnot but irl you get this. Mediocre.

I have to wonder if its a regional thing. I'm watching from the southern pacific in HD, and its been excellent.

I’d imagine it is fairly dependent on which cache you’re connected to.
