A few folks asked us to ungate this Acquired x Gary Tan LP show episode for the YC community so we went ahead and did that.

The estimates range from roughly 1 in 100 to 1 in 100,000. The higher figures come from the working engineers, and the very low figures from management.
The reality was even more dangerous than the engineers had predicted, and far more dangerous than management had.
