  I'd love to read an article from an ex-Netflix engineer explaining why their service is such garbage. I want money, but the reason I'd think about asking for that much is because I'd need to interface with massive irritations.

    It's not garbage? What are you talking about.

    Could you elaborate on what you mean by "such garbage"? E.g., I stopped using Netflix for several reasons: uninteresting content, obnoxious UI, and unhelpful/implausible recommendations system. But I was always very happy with the reliability and performance of their streaming system.

  The acronym has nothing to do with average developer salaries, for there are lots of other contenders that pay more.

    Developer salaries is the only context I’ve ever understood it with.

      Originally it was about the companies' high performing stocks. The salaries are a downstream effect, and then it just got adopted by the salary-optimizing crowd of engineers and college students.
