What holds more significance - something written by the women's husband almost a year ago, or something written by the woman herself a few days ago?
- Podgajski 3y agoMaybe you could just take a look at her Twitter bio! “Born lucky” https://twitter.com/catehall https://twitter.com/catehall This aversion to the effect of luck is just making me realize how deluded many people are in the tech industry. And how they fell under the spell of lucky people who are successful, telling you it’s not about luck.
- anthomtb 3y agoFair play. I was working off the links and context from this thread and did not think to look at anyone's twitter bio. Anyways, the argument you seem to be making (I may have it wrong) is that you can dismiss Cate's article on agency because she also admits to be lucky. That may explain why successful people, both in and out of tech, are hesitant to acknowledge the role of luck.
- Podgajski 3y agoI’m not dismissing agency. I think agency is important. I’m just exposing you to the overruling effect of luck. And luck matters more than agency.
- lookACamel 3y agoLuck is part of her strategy for increasing agency though. > Increase your surface area for luck
