If you focus on successful cases, you’re getting it wrong. Don’t get me wrong. You’ll learn something. But, if only 1 out of 10 makes it to the riches, you’re leaving 90% of the learnings on the table. You can learn something of any project. Things that went OK. Things that went badly. Things that went really badly. Things that you did right. No questions why there are so many people looking for the next uberization of something.
