skypather··on Eric's Guide to Hiring Software Developers
Is this a typo or total misunderstanding? In this article:, the author said "FAANG is Facebook, Apple, Amazon, "LinkedIn" (Wrong! it should be Netflix) and Google. ..." Frankly, if someone wants to give a "hiring (software developer) guide" but does not even know what FAANG is, I seriously doubt how good this guide could possibly be.

Taiwan) still recognizes the "Regular" characters as the standard. Among Chinese people in the world, it it also known as the "Traditional" characters.
