Just a bit of feedback: The first job I saw on the page proclaimed "48 tech stacks" which immediately horrified me. That is, until I clicked on it and realized it's 48 different pieces of tech used at the company; including Microsoft Excel, GitHub, Git (listed separately), Zoom, among others.

I feel like there's probably a simpler and less intimidating way to organize and represent this up-front.

Is this the corporate equivalent of putting "Skills: Microsoft Word" on your CV?

Almost as bad as saying you are proficient in python and then naming all the packages you've used. If you were truly proficient, its implicit you know how to use some popular packages already and can trivially speed up to another one based on the python package paradigms you already understand.

Yep, I agree - we might not even need to include the count - it's not super useful information. Appreciate the feedback! We'll take it on!

Meanwhile it might be better to use "technologies", rather than "tech stacks". git or React aren't tech stacks.

Isn't that what all the kids want these days?

48 completely different tech stacks sounds reasonable for a large enterprise :)

Imagine listing Excel as part of your tech stack

At first I agreed. But then I realized I work in finance and it’d be nice to know they use Excel instead of Sheets. I can’t stand Sheets for any serious work.
