What a FAANG job actually means — Web Lunch S1.E1

Adam Argyle (@nerdiestdev ) has what a lot of us might describe as a "dream job" — he landed a job at Google on the Chrome devrel team. I sat down for lunch with him at Lottie & Zula's in Portland, OR, to ask him how he measures progress and success after achieving what a lot of engineers might consider their ultimate goal.
