- vote Netflix isn’t a tech company. Change my mind. A tech company in todays world implies a few things. Namely that you work with technology (synonymous with anything touching computers these days, which I think is a fallacy, but I digress). But also that you are high growth and “innovating”. When we look at Netflix, it should be obvious that all th
- Why such hatred towards Amazon on Blind?

- Does it make sense to join FB anymore? Given the market cap is close to 800B, will it have a possibility of going 3x or more in the next 4 years? On the other hand FB's PE is less than 30, which is mind boggling considering NFLX, AMZN are 70+ and other up and coming tech companies are in the 100s. Of course no can predict this with any

- Downturn 2020 Companies Looking for companies that will do better during the upcoming downturn. I'm quite worried about Amazon. Teams aren't being able to address the old tech in the existing systems. Good people are leaving. All new features come from acquisitions or hero behavior of a few people working 16+ hours per day

- Netflix Remote Job Future I've always heard that Netflix was anti-remote, and yet I glanced through the careers page and see a growing number of remote jobs posted. Is this just because of COVID?

- What would be the layoff scenario in "rest and vest" companies during the upcoming recession? Business outlook is great right now. Companies can afford to hire employees and not treat them like Amazon, FB or Cruise Automation do.
