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.
- 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?
- ANAMA. Maybe pronounced as enema?
  
  Do doo do do do
- 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.
  
  Would love to see this made and gone viral
  
  Now this is fucking excellent
  
  Please start an etsy shop selling t-shirts and red hats with this and you'll be set to retire in a few months.
if Facebook have not changed to Meta, it would be "gayfan".
What does the Y stand for?
- Y Combinator, a startup accelerator and venture capital firm. Also home of Hacker News.
  
  good site, terrible grifters
  
  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
- Alphabet
