> $MANGA as well. (Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, Google, Amazon)
I must say this is a new acronym (backronym?) for me. Why do people insist on shoe-horning in Netflix in there? Yes, I'm aware without the N these acronyms can collapse into a more distasteful and off-topic term, but is that the only reason?
I'm sure Netflix is a "wealthy" company with a competent engineering org, but surely they are nowhere near the scale that the rest of the letters operate in? Netflix's competitor is just one of many subdivisions in Amazon, after all.

I made it up. I think it's hilarious with Netflix in there cause, MANGA.
I think it’s more a symptom of interviewing being broken than just being a monoculture. They’re probably very related, though. Bad interview practices produce bad results, etc.
Why is interviewing so broken? Why isn’t there something like certifications? Do things like unions address this? They seem to in construction, plumbing, and trade jobs as well as even acting.
