The thing about "late" is really "I wish I had seen that". But even if I had travelled back in time and left myself a note about Facebook I still am very unlikely to have built a billion dollar company - because I don have that brain / personality of Zuckerberg or Musk or Bezos or ...

So I do regret many turnings I did not take, but only because of a misguided hope that a turning would have made me a different person to the one I am. I was building an email to web page maker long before twitter, but I am still working for a living.

I need to learn how to build a company online by building a company online - and learn to accept my personality for itself.
