This story really drives home how being in the right place at the right time really makes a difference. They essentially made iteration 1 in three weeks and that set them down the path to success. May be the landscape has changed then but I cannot for the life of me imagine anything that could be made in three weeks today and have the effect that reddit had on the internet and the founder's lives. If there's reddit/uber/instagram for x/y/z it's already been done or someone with deeper pockets than you is doing it already. The current centre of attention (deserved or not) is Gen AI which is built on decades of hard research and very expensive compute. Start-ups still pop up but nothing like spin up a random site in three weeks and change the world.
