Perseverance matters, Google is notorious for abandoning efforts if they don't quickly dominate the market. That largely pollutes the lesson you've received IMO.
- cogman10 4y agoMicrosoft tried to make windows phone a thing for over a decade and it simply never took off. Heck, they had a mobile OS before mobile OSes were really all that big (windows mobile and PDAs) and they still ended up dying. Heck, Google Cloud is another good example. Google has dumped large amounts of money into it, they've been running it since before AWS was really big, and it's still not really dominating the market.
