I’m 90% sure it’s just to flex, honestly. I work at another FANG with a roughly equal engineering community and I don’t see my kind commenting as much at all!

  Another FANG = Amazon? If so, Amazon is pretty restrictive in how it wants employees to communicate about internal activities. Most people err on the side of caution and don't comment publicly.

    It is - but all companies I’ve ever worked for are. I’m not convinced the letter of the policy is much different.

      There are definitely major differences between the FAANGs: what was the last time you saw an Apple employee commenting on anything on HN?

        Definitely not all FADANGs are the same. never seen a Disney employee comment ;) Or oracle in FADANGOs ;) just kidding

        Apple employees comment on Hacker News all the time: they just don’t identify themselves as speaking for the company and make sure to only talk about publicly available information.
