This is also very true for me. I've taken jobs from many unusual circumstances just by being 'open to discussion'--not even thinking of saying yes. I've started talks about work from a person that sold me their used car, companies on Who's hiring that used a tech stack I was uninterested in, hiring stunt programming contest, a 5 person local startup using PHP that had no tech lead, dev culture that was foreign to me (pair programming 8 hours a day), following everyone else in an aquihire of small startup to a large company. There's a lot of value in variety and dumb luck.
