But valuation is a very real predictive measure on IPOs, and what Reddit is making all these bad decisions in preparation for. They tried to cut a little more pie by dragging third party app users onto their app to try and increase revenue and bump valuation, it’s just that it was so terribly misguided and executed that it had the opposite effect and blew up in their face.

I mean, reading that, it’s a stretch but not that much of a stretch. They’re basically saying “JVM, .NET, Node, a bunch of CI/CD and DevOps tools” and then a bunch of repeats and calling out adjacent technologies/specific dependencies. It’s not something where you’d be expected to work on all of those every day, but work full-stack at a company a bit and drift into a few different projects and you’d check those boxes. This is just a very bad/scary job posting calling out every minutiae.
