Don’t forget OpenAI - gaymoan
With the name changes isn’t it actually MAAAN now? Meta, Alphabet, Apple, Amazon and Netflix.
Nvidia aren’t a software company, Y combinator doesn’t belong here either.
Microsoft already wasn’t in FAANG.
ANAMA. Maybe pronounced as enema?
Do doo do do do
ANAMA Phone!
FAANG was never “software companies” it was for “stocks to buy”. IIRC it was invented by Cramer et al.
Oh OK I always heard of it in software development circles as “if you want to go corpo and earn a shitload of money for a few years, go FAANG” but I see how you mean. Can you buy stocks in Y Combinator then? Or is that just a convenient inclusion for the screengrabbed post?
thank you. i was trying to figure out wtf the Y was.
I had assumed it was Yandex
Lol “gay” funny, whatever. Like at least use the MAGA somehow… They’re basically the technical arm of the current administration, or the administration is the legislative arm of the tech hegemony, depends on the week.
Magany.
Pronounced like agony with an m at the start, represents their actions better.
Posting here to show my grandkids I was there before this went viral, and to remind them at this point in history, they still hadn’t released the files.
Would love to see this made and gone viral
Yes. Surely someone else will do it.
Please start an etsy shop selling t-shirts and red hats with this and you’ll be set to retire in a few months.
You do it, I don’t own the word, it’s all of ours to use and make fun of them with.
Now this is fucking excellent
What does the Y stand for?
Y Combinator, a startup accelerator and venture capital firm. Also home of Hacker News.
good site, terrible grifters
Honestly the site has also gone to shit lately. Not because of the people in charge, but because of the users. So many trust fund babies with no life perspective speaking confidently with 100% belief that as long as you are making more money you are a Good Person doing Good Things.
Yeah. Meditate, read Paul Graham assays, teach your kids to invest and always watch the dollar symbol go up.
The AI stuff consistently there is so boring as well.
I no longer go to the HN frontpage, I click on Comments and scroll to someone saying something interesting and jump the article fron there
Companies started via Y Combinator include Airbnb, Coinbase, Cruise, DoorDash, Dropbox, Instacart, Reddit, Stripe, Scale AI, Deel, Helion Energy, and Twitch.>
From Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y_Combinator
Hadn’t heard of them
Have you heard of Hacker News?
Alphabet
yalphabet
Haha, yes. It makes nonsense if you are consistent with names. Meta and alphabet for Facebook and Google. Y combinator as a part is a stretch too. But it’s just a joke!
Microsoft should replace meta for two main reasons:
-
Microsoft belongs here.
-
MicroShaft.
-
if Facebook have not changed to Meta, it would be “gayfan”.
AAAAAAAAA!
Fighter of the straight man
