100%. people wanna blame companies for laying people off, doing leetcode, having ATS systems that don't parse resumes correctly.

if people realized - aimed at software engineers - that the same company you're applying for - someone went through the pain of creating the initial product, marketing it, selling it. I'm sure you can do the same - maybe not at the same level but at 80%.

unlike in zero-sum games - real life you can have multiple winners - 80% will get you there.
