    FAANG came about because of “unexpected growth” in how those could “surprisingly” capture money

    I don’t know the origin, but I came to know the term itself from my time as a freshman Computer Science student, where “working at FAANG” was to be the highest career thing you could aspire to.

    It was always extremely confusing, cause like, Amazon, Apple, Google - I get those, they actually have things they work on, I’m sure working on AWS or like the internals of Google Search has to be interesting for a CS person, but fucking Facebook? The fuck does Facebook do? What unsolved technical challenges lie in a message board? Same goes for Netflix.
