As business-side FAAAT (I think this is funnier and better than FAANG…) worker myself, I can understand this. However, where I’m at is not a Kombucha place at least not in the offices I’ve been to. I think a very particular image of “Big Tech Workplaces” for a temporary moment where demand for SWE waaaaaaay outstripped supply has kind of gotten locked in my public consciousness. Because my experience hasn’t been anything like this and don’t know anyone else who has either. Even SWE stuff now has been commoditized and has become basically a farm too.
