I have neither worked at Netflix, nor written for the blog myself. In september 2020, 4,100 respondents in a survey ranked Netflix as the best place to work, over GitHub and Google. That is, in no small part, due to its salaries, its culture, and its brand. According to SimilarWeb, the TechBlog gets just over 250,000 pageviews per month.

You can use multiple strategies. Investing in promising tech start-ups directly can appear “easy” given the vagaries of the available data and the long hold periods: everyone has a supportable opinion and it will take 5-10 years to know who was right!
