On every technical talk, there's at least one presenter bragging about previous experience at FAANG. No exceptions, always 1 slide.

I don’t think it’s bragging; I think it’s to establish credibility (“ethos”)

The line between establishing credibility and bragging is easy to cross even for someone who's trying not to cross it.

The problem is that it doesn't really prove anything other than that the person managed to get hired by FAANG.

It's something that must be said, even if they did only a summer internship.
