Comment on Doing vs Telling

Comments

The good old luck coefficient argument - the amount of luck you have is the area under a graph where Y is "how many people know about it" and X is "what you do".

For some reason I can't find the specific blog talking about this right now, but it's a fairly straightforward logical concept.

I'm fairly sure this must be the blog post you are trying to remember: [ http://www.codusoperandi.com/posts/increasing-your-luck-surf... ].

That's a good way to put it. Would love to read the post talking about it, if you ever find it again.

I laughed a tiny bit when reading this comment because it highlights one of the points of the post.

If the blog you're referring to was written (or repeated) by one of the internet personalities mentioned here, we probably would have remembered who wrote it.
