I'm hearing Meta, Stripe, Google, Netflix, Lyft and Uber are hiring like crazy for amazing salaries. Not only that but one basically just needs to sort of show up half the time and surf the net 99% of the time there.

That was obviously sarcasm.

Browsing some online code communities would lead someone to believe that faang and silicon valley companies are the only employers in our industry, and if your employed anywhere else you are probably on the verge of homelessness

That is obviously not the case
