RE: That escalated quickly
It all seems crazy til it happens. I wonder if the old school tech billionaires saw the potential in the first few years. These days, tech startups all seem to believe they are unicorn companies - but the work takes time and the luck needed isn't often aligned.
Even if you put in the work, eventually its often down to luck.
Thinking of all the people who move to Hollywood to try and make it as a
writer - actor - director etc.
For every success story there are hundreds of failures. You'll never make it if you don't try; but looking at the winners is only giving you half the story.
I agree. Thereis a very strong survivor bias. No one writes books about the losers.
