When confronted about this on Hacker News, Austen defended himself with:

> I did say the hiring rate of a cohort of one student was 100%. And in the same tweet I said, in all caps BUT VERY SMALL SAMPLE SIZE. Odd how that doesn’t make the article, don’t you think?

I could almost respect the hilarity of this defense if it weren't about him having scammed people for (in aggregates) millions
