This twitter stream was the most reliable for me. Completely took Netflix out of the equation; just some dude at the event with his phone: https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1mrxmMRmXpQxy
> just some dude at the event with his phone Antonio Brown is not “just some dude”. He’s a national treasure.
I have Spectrum (600 Mbps) for ISP and Verizon for mobile.

I wonder how effective it would be to cache live events with a delay. Write to the tail, read from the head.
that’s totally unacceptable for live sports which people are able to bet on
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.
> Our engineers are fucking morons. I interviewed at Netflix a few years ago; with several of their engineers. One thing I cannot say is that they are morons. their interview process is top notch too and while I was ultimately rejected, I used their format as the base template for how I started hiring at my company.
It can be both true that Netflix has God tier talent and a bunch of idiots. In fact, that's probably true of most places. I guess the ratio matters more.

Our engineers are fucking morons If your "dumbest engineer" got a job and a hefty raise going to Netflix, it means he was very capable engineer who was playing the part of moron at this Fortune 500 company because he was reporting to a manager who was calling him and the entire team morons and he didn't feel the need to go above and beyond for that manager. Also, highly likely that it was the manager that was the mor…
It's also possible that there's very little correlation between capability, reputation and salary.
Don't we all know someone who is overpaid? There are more than a few well known cases of particular employers who select for overpaid employees...
It’s a learning experience! I remember Conor and Floyd broke hbo and the ufc. It’s a hard problem for sure! Some buffering issues for us, but I bet views are off the charts. Huge for Netflix, bad for espn, paramount, etc etc
You're lucky you only had some buffering issues. This is got the case for many people, I don't know the percentage, but many people on reddit were complaining. This is bad for Netflix imo.
It will never not annoy and amuse me that illegal options (presumably run by randoms in their spare time) are so much better than the offerings of big companies and their tech ‘talent’.
Illegal options would have lot less active users. So it is not a fair comparison

I wonder if there will be any long term reputational repercussions for Netflix because of this. Amongst SWEs, Netflix is known for hiring the best people and their streaming service normally seems very solid. Other streaming services have definitely caught up a bit and are much more reliable then in the early days, but my impression still has always been that Netflix is a step above the rest technically. This sure do…
