It’s a sneaky statistic. You could say that 100% of the startups I worked at used Windows laptops because at least one person had a Windows computer somewhere.

If you saw the engineers you’d see 80% Macs and 20% Linux laptops.

The statistic would technically be true.

I use Chinese open weight models a lot, but they’re not what I reach for when I’m doing important coding work.

I _evaluate_ open weight models all the time. Does this mean I _use_ them? That's a very suspicious statistic.
