>GAFAM

Never seen it listed out like that, I thought it was FAANG. Or is FAANG only used in reference to top salaries in the Bay Area?

Yeah, It's due to myself being french, so I proposed including this in the readme.md as GAFAM, as other more ¨international¨ depiction of these group were less prominent. If you think that FAANG is a better acronym, i’ll change it.

GAFA is the french-speaking equivalent of FAANG (although they all seem to omit Amazon and Netflix).

GAFA(M) omits Netflix but not Amazon, since it stands for Google Amazon Facebook Apple (Microsoft)

Yes I understand - I was talking more about the ordering of them. English-speaking websites tend to use FA(A?)NG while French-speaking ones tend to use GAFA(M?).
