Rust never sleeps: the idea that nothing is ever "not needing maintenance." In webdev, this means that even if Netflix is "perfect," it may not remain so if, for example, the Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft teams all find critical exploits in their browser code that forces a push to up to date and legacy versions of their browsers that breaks the netflix video viewer, or whatever.
No matter how well you paint a bridge, the rust will find a way in.
thanks for the explanation...it will be interesting how netflix will handle it. The "reasonable thing" to do would be to either
a) plonk all of those "superfluous" engineers into creative fun mode ala xerox park
or
b) set them onto formally verifying the stack and then sack them slowly/stop hiring,
at least as far as can guess from the outside of the entertainment industry? Though handling 3D/VR+developing teldedildonics (does netflix do adult content?) might give the techies continued legitimacy
