Comment on Ask HN: Have you thought about leaving programming for the trades?parent

Comments

No.

Brains and persistence, are more important. If you're not launching dumb stuff and you keep trying at some point something sticks.

Learn from your failures, keep going after you fail, you're going to feel lucky when you do finally get a hit. Luck will have had NOTHING to do with it.

This is something people oblivious to their lucky breaks keep saying to themselves.

you're going to feel lucky when you do finally get a hit.

Yes, because if I try something for 15 times and only 1 time succeed it is not my skills that worked, otherwise they would have worked the first time, it is pure luck. So I feel lucky because I am.

What do you mean by "If you're not launching dumb stuff"? "...and you keep trying at some point something sticks" this part makes sense to me
