Dan Luu worked for one of the semiconductor industry's customers. He didn't work at S2 or another chipmaker. (He also explicitly mentions that he was lucky to work at Centaur starting out, but that's besides the point—since, again, Centaur is not a chipmaker.) When I mentioned Dan Luu, I was specifically referring to the recent thunderstorm on Twitter where he mentioned the uncanny valleyness of doing work for unsexy companies and that it's actually more like a blemish on your résumé than a non-zero positive contribution.
