Zeroing in on your launch coordinates

Looking at Brian Armstrong's Hacker News history before Coinbase, Daniel Gross described a hacker taking swing after swing on small projects, slowly converging on the right idea. Shaan generalizes that everyone's first projects look unremarkable in hindsight.

“what Daniel tweeted out was, I, you know, I look back at Brian's Hacker News submissions before he started Coinbase. You could see what you see is a story of a hacker working on different projects, slowly zeroing in on his launch coordinates”

Steal thisShip many small projects publicly; the volume of swings is how you find the one that's yours.
