If your conclusion is "throwing servers at problems" after years of reading the papers about Google infrastructure, you probably are a non infrastructure guy.

A serious conclusion should be that all these infrastructure enable application devs and researchers alike "to throw servers at problem". And these work are exactly the opposite, where they spent years and sometimes even decades meditating the nifty and figure out the most effective and efficient way of utilizing the servers.



With the demise of Moore's Law and physics education improving I imagine efficiency of the machines will eventually overtake developer time concerns.
