As a developer that worked mostly for companies that really like to build stuff in-house, it was my understanding that startups build on top of frameworks to be scrappy / create the most value per hour of work, and large businesses create their own frameworks / tooling, mainly because they have very specific needs.
Is my understanding wrong? Or, maybe this is mostly a PR thing?
PS: They do mention that they used to make in-house tooling, but then why transition? How is depending on a codebase that you have less control over an option when you have Netflix resources?

They feel it doesn't make sense any more. That Netflix is capable of doing the work is not the same as whether it makes economic sense for them to do so. This is just Economics 101 -- gains from trade and the theory of the firm.
