The further your lifestyle is from that of a Silicon Valley developer, the further FAANG is from serving your needs.

No one devs on a 8 year old budget laptop or a slow internet connection. Some devs forget that those even exist.

It's very common on HN to forget that Macs have only a 10% share of the laptop market for sure

Even high end Windows laptops have a small market share. Same for 4K displays.

Fast internet isn't a given either. It's slow in some areas, and slower in most hotels. I've had sub-10mbps, 1500ms ping internet quite often, especially while travelling.

That's without counting cultural assumptions SV companies make, especially when their staff is lacking in cultural diversity.

maybe for some, but not for all. or do you think making phones and computers is out of touch from normal people’s needs?
