> he cites a statistic that 50%...

Not a statistic so much as an anecdote. He makes it pretty explicit, I thought.



Eh, even if it’s an anecdote, it comes off as actionable advice: “make sure you apply to Google/Amazon/Facebook as your safety jobs, since you’ve got a 50% chance of getting in there anyway.”

Which feels… optimistic.


I mean yeah they obviously don’t hire 50% of applicants. Even if they’re pre-filtered to people who think Dan Luu is a cool guy (which I do)
