Airbnb and tech hub in one sentence. Could someone explain to me what one has to do with the other?

- randomsearch 6y agoI would guess the implication might be that Airbnb isn’t a tech company but an accommodation company? Is that fair? I don’t know. Feels like there’s a spectrum. Can’t see anything Airbnb have done that’s technically innovative, but rather their main innovation is a very novel (and much criticised) business model.
- pb7 6y agoIt literally doesn't matter what they are. They have engineers and they're building an office geared for them. They could bake bread as their business but if they build an office for the 3 software guys that build their marketing website and integrate a 3rd party inventory system while the 1,000 bakers work elsewhere, it would be their tech hub. Don't let your hate for Airbnb pick apart every single headline.
