Bit odd how you could miss the only point OP was trying to make. Yes, if you know that TECH_X is used in production at BIG_CORP_Y, it's very helpful. I can tell you that in the BIG_CORP I work for, we quite possibly use or have used any- and everything for something. The point OP was trying to make is: What is that something?

Considering the context of the original comment: a top-level comment on an article that details exactly how Zig is used at Uber, it's understandable that people misunderstood.
