Check out http://80000hours.org/joescott to find a career that makes a real difference in the world.
Being first doesn’t always guarantee success. Often the public isn’t ready, or the product isn’t ready, or there’s not an infrastructure in place, whatever the reason, many times the first to market are just the first to fail. Today we celebrate those successful failures.
