Summary from article's beginning:

The Raspberry Pi Super Computer was originally built for Open World in October 2019. We have 1050 Raspberry Pi 3b+ in four server racks, configured in a big square box reminiscent of a British Police box, popularized in a certain British Television TV series. Fast forward to today, the Pi Cluster, “The Raspberry Pi Super Computer (Pi Cluster),” got sent to e-waste, some parts stripped off it, was dormant for 2 years, and then in May of this year found it’s way to my garage where it got a complete overhaul.

Interesting story! I've seen videos and articles about it before.

Did I get that right that he managed to build this on company time and from company funds as a sales- and showoff-project and then once decommissioned he even snatched it from the trash? That's one hell of a 4D chess move to get yourself over 1000 RPis and a life-endangering power bill!😂

This was also my understanding and I do still not know whether to admire or hate this guy. No just joking, it is definitely admiration 😁
