Yeah, companies do that all the time. Spend 3 months of a good engineer's time to save a few thousand bucks in hardware because the budget allocation is fixed.

In the long run, I think companies that value human capital appropriately will win.
- jre 13y agoA lot of problems are going to require quite a bit of engineering to scale to 300 cores... I mean, if you're just serving some simple webpage, it's easy to just throw servers at it. But if you want to implement say a distributed k-means, the algorithm is different than for the single-threaded case. Not everything is easily scalable...
- asdasf 13y agoYeah, companies do that all the time. Spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on hosting and hardware costs to save a few hours of a programmer's time because they blindly believe in the completely unfounded "truth" you are parroting.
