Good post, thanks! I have a gut feeling that hustling is a more effective strategy than being the best. In a winner-takes-all economy, (as many real economies are) you can do an excellent work and go unnoticed because someone else is already capturing all the attention. You can argue that if that happens is because the other thing is best, but I'm not very convinced about that. Look at HN itself: if a submission manages to get early traction, it is more likely that it will raise to the front page as upvotes attract upvotes, etc. Ofc, you can try to do both.
