At this point we need to accept that zuck has no talent. He simply stole someone’s amazing idea and got lucky. Every single idea he has come up with since has been a tragic failure.
- thecleaner 2y agoYou dont need talent to succeed. Just grit and certain ruthlessness. If the market awards this behaviour then whatever.

- disqard 2y agoYou left out "luck", and "monetary buffer" (plan B, C, D, and beyond for people like Zuck).
- throwopp 2y agoOhh. He's a good as long as he pays good stocks..
- znpy 2y agosteve jobs did basically the same, over and over again: steal some idea, make it shinier, price it double.
- dasil003 2y agoYeah but he shined it up pretty nice, that’s a real talent. I guess Facebook was shinier than MySpace in a corporate kind of way, but it was a pretty low bar
- musicale 2y agoShiny (external design) is only part of the story. Hardware, software, and infrastructure also matter. The iPhone had an attractive and functional industrial design (barring occasional missteps like antennagate) but its multitouch screen and UI, full-featured email, web browser, and music player were critical. On the infrastructure side, Apple negotiated "unlimited" data rates to prevent carriers from crippling the iPhone, and within a year had developed an App Store ecosystem that eventually scaled from a few thousand developers to hundreds of thousands. End-to-end execution matters (Apple's vertical integration helps with this) and it's a big part of the difference between invention and innovation.
