What is failure?
I personally am happy when I know I build something others treasure. It could be a handful of people, or many. Or it could be that I’m the only customer.
I can’t feasibly imagine working on something that long that _nobody_ cares about using, including me. I suppose it happens, but it really boggles my imagination.
Financially? A startup? Yes there’s absolutely survivorship bias. Supposedly 9/10 fail[1]. From mid stage startup I’ve seen/worked at there’s only the consistent theme of luck, access to capital, and persistence..
