Havenât read much here, but just flagging that the first sentences of my post were not merely âjust applyâ but rather:
Donât spend too long thinking about the pros and cons of applying to an opportunity (e.g., a job, grant, degree program, or internship). Assuming the initial application wouldnât take you long, if it seems worth thinking hard about, you should probably just apply instead.â [emphasis changed]
This is indeed ideally complemented by heuristics about which specific things to apply to, and with some other career-capital-building moves like doing courses or bootcamps.
And I expect some people did further than ideal with âjust applyâ due to my post (e.g. reading the title alone), but that it was on net a useful nudge.

(What Dee writes above looks useful to me.)
