Time to call it FAANGS.

Why do people use FAANG as a baseline? Amazon has an extremely questionable hiring bar.

Amazon isn't in FANG silly. It's Facebook, Airbnb, Netflix and Google.

Looks like Dropbox is saltyyyy

The FANG acronym really needs to die. Historically, the context came from Jim Cramer who used it to abbreviate high growth-potential large-cap tech stocks. Stripe is not one of them. With that said I vote for GAANDU as the new tech prestige acronym.

If you look at scale at the infra level, FAANG still makes sense.

Gaandu? Wtf? Explain. Especially, what do the A's mean?

It’s like Ivy League, which is a sports conference. There are plenty of top schools that are not in the Ivy League. But people say Ivy and generally mean the top N schools. FANG has become the same thing.

We should call FSANG. Sounds more Asian.

Salesforce Bag Head Sep 21, 2019

I vote to bring back the GAANDU.

No. You can get paid I guess but it’s a shitty company + shitty product. The founders got paid and now they fuck off doing podcasts and making dumb shit like Atlas.
