People way underestimate how much circumstances and pure luck factor into their success. Was Zuckerberg really that great a coder or was the idea so good and that’s why it worked, or was it the perfect storm of right time right place? Timing matters a lot. The best way to increase your chances of a product success is to launch many products as quickly as possible. Don’t wait for the perfect idea or perfect time. Hopefully you’ll learn something with each one and eventually the stars will align
^^^ that.
The other thing that became evident was in the movie one of his best friends (Severin) had wealthy parents that bankrolled the spiraling server costs in the early days, How many people are going to be in that position?
