Mfaang: Dating for FAANG Employees (opens in new tab)

Maybe the idea isn't bad and I'd argue there's indeed a market for such an app, but it won't take off with such implementation.

The "clever" code snippet is just silly. Would you use a tax form to lure accountants into your app? Maybe 1% in faang are obsessed with programming. The rest are there for the money.

The problem with dating in faang is the paranoidal anti-sex policy. Basically, just about any move to approach a female may and will be interpreted as harassment, so the game isn't worth the risk. The app needs to work around this policy, at the very least. The other problem is the overall unhealthy atmosphere around personal views that have nothing to do with work. If someone discovers your dating profile and finds there that you carelessly left a remark that you say prefer white women, you'll be fired. This is a disease of the today's tech corps and the app needs to provide anonymity and plausible deniability.

Edit. The exclusivity (or elitism, as another comment says) is a good idea, actually. Letting only certain audience in adds value to the club.

Yes, right. The existing caste system is not enough.

I hate everything about this.

I hate the concept. It feeds into the phony elitism that these companies use to sell themselves. It suggests classism, like an invitation to join a caste system based on employer.

The website is garbage. We are ~15 years past the release of the iPhone one. HTML is mobile-friendly by default. Make a mobile-friendly site especially if you are targeting people who work on the web.

And finally, I hate the cringeworthy copy that uses pseudo-code and unironically says "happily ever after". Tech people are not robots and enjoy reading things in human language.
