> If you're writing blogs, streaming, posting videos, and publishing software my position is that you have a better chance of being noticed than if you didn't do those things

If that doesn't bear fruit then you have wasted your time though. I don't think that framing this as "increasing your odds" or "having a better chance" is helpful for most people.

If you're starting from zero you're looking for a moonshot, because even if you increase your odds by 1000% the chance of a tangible positive result is still probably ~0.



Don't put cart before horses.

Blog post is not about "starting from zero" it is about starting from point where someone already did interesting or useful work.

It is also not saying anything about moonshots to get someone super rich or super famous.


The point is more about assuaging doubts than about giving motivation, but I do think that it might be a slightly toxic way to view things.
