- rightbyte 6y agoI don't really think so. Most programming tasks can be done with a 2010 year-model computer. In machine engineering etc. you need expensive equipment.
- throwaway3699 6y agoAt Google it's commonplace for a single engineer to be able to run a MapReduce over the entire internet. Or do experiments with training huge deep learning models. The fact that approval is not required (aka 20% project) to use staggering levels of compute is the advantage I'm talking about.
