I must say this is a new acronym (backronym?) for me. Why do people insist on shoe-horning in Netflix in there? Yes, I'm aware without the N these acronyms can collapse into a more distasteful and off-topic term, but is that the only reason?

I'm sure Netflix is a "wealthy" company with a competent engineering org, but surely they are nowhere near the scale that the rest of the letters operate in? Netflix's competitor is just one of many subdivisions in Amazon, after all.



I made it up. I think it's hilarious with Netflix in there cause, MANGA.


Mostly because Netflix has very high compensation for senior engineers.


And a well above average expectation of skill. IMO the most difficult interview to pass in that group.
