I'd be happy to put, "Implemented compression alghorith that saves the company 1.5PB in data transfer a day." on my CV.

That's $15000 a day saved on data traffic. You are worth $5M+ per year now (at the same scale).

Neither. All parties involved seemed to have done their job perfectly well. It's all I can judge from here. Here on HN there seems to be too many assumptions around this blog post.
