  • That graph is what the herd behavior looks like. But if you break down, take 2 people who are actually on bottom quartile. While on average they think they’re 3rd quartile aka a bit above average, one of them will have impostor syndrome and the other one will think they’re the smartest person around. Then for the top 2 smartest people around, one will know it for sure and the other will think of themselves less than the overconfident newbie described above.


















  • Correct but also worth mentioning that most projects and people don’t reach any meaningful scale to generate income or even pay self running costs.

    I don’t think most people havr money as a goal when they come up with an idea and start an open source project. It’s more likely they want to try a new tech or are just passionate about the idea. Like entrepreneurs, but not capitalistic.

    Like start up unicorns, it’s a small percentage that gets to grow to epic propositions.
