Your second paragraph tells you who you’re trying to find in your third paragraph: FAANG. Hiring 500 engineers and bragging about it something you can do when you’re just interested in shareholder value not customer experience.

I wouldn’t hire the guy in the article because I haven’t seen strong candidates come from FAANG and I’ve been very happy to lose the people I did to FAANG because they weren’t good engineers, they just knew how to leetcode and tunnel vision trivia.

Hasn't it changed from FAANG to MAANA?

[-] bobgusford@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Took me a while to figure this one out - FAANG to MAANA: Facebook --> Meta Apple Amazon Netflix Google --> Alphabet

I like Magma better (Meta, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Amazon). I know Google is under alphabet but it's still the main company. And Netflix isn't really cutting edge anymore, so I'd put Microsoft above them tech wise.

But most importantly, magma just sounds cool.

Is that a thing? Am I a thing now?

We can't wait to find out!

Yeah most of the companies have a different name. That and personally not attractive to those of us in the industry.

IMO this is exactly what happens. the sort of person who acts this way isn't interested in becoming a better person and learning, they were in it for the diploma and the paycheck. this person stopped growing somewhere in high school.
