At meta, there was a project for delivering binaries of internally built libraries / binaries to dev laptops using a private ipfs network. This was live for at least some period of time.

Very interesting! I wonder if it’s still live and there is any writing on it?
Not sure, there was a lot of complaints when it rolled out because it was actually peer to peer syncing to other laptops which was causing bandwidth issues for people working on vpn, from planes etc.

I’m not sure if it was actually a well thought out idea, since it’s not like fb has a lack of servers or bandwidth, but I didn’t work on it, so I don’t want to throw too much shade at it.
