I think you succeed by being better than enough other people. If there are enough people this good willing to make that sort of sacrifice, it just makes it that much harder for the competition to keep up.

That might be true but hes not doing this alone. Hes the one making the decisions and the strategy but Square has >100 employees and Twitter has like what ? 600 ? This would be true if a big percentage of all the employees would be putting in these kind of hours, but i highly doubt thats the case. Also it doesnt factor in luck, which is a big part of startup success. Could Jack have pulled off Square as a nobody without the help of twitter ? I guess not. You could have started a Square Competitor at the same time as him, working even harder with all your people and even if you had the better product, you most probably wouldnt have won.
