I'm definitely using FANG as FAANG without Amazon. So does everyone else that I've seen use it on HN, Reddit, and Blind.

You're the first I've heard of. FANG was the original designation for the group of high-growth tech stocks, and the A stood for Amazon. This is pretty well known and verifiable.

Are you sure you didn't just assume the A was for Apple when you read it? I don't know how you could possibly know what people were referring to from the acronym.

I'm going to respond to this question with one of my own: how much time have you spent on Blind in the past few weeks?

Im sorry but what does that have to do with anything? I would have assumed the A is Amazon too

None, I try to avoid it unless I'm scoping out a new job. Are you saying Blind users include Apple in FANG? I haven't seen it.
