Reminds me of Notch from Minecraft fame. Struck lightning once and everything since has been pretty mediocre because he was lucky, not talented.
It does take tremendous talent and knowledge to build what he built, saying anything else is not just dishonest but weirdly cynical if not hateful. I think you grossly underestimate how difficult it is to build anything good. Not an easy thing to follow up all the expectations set after a massive global hit like that, a classic dilemma of a successful artist.
It really doesn't. We teach kids how to program basic games like minecraft. The real appeal was and always has been the fully destructible Lego-like world bundled with good-enough online multiplayer. I was there when it started and he posted his questions/progress on the forums I frequented back then. Those posts where the starting ramp and testing ground that got him his first few users which then snowballed.
There is neither knowledge nor talent here, he stumbled into it, and that's fine.

#76Will Meta similarly allow its employees to replace themselves in the meetings?
That way AI-AI can chat and save humans’ time.

if we're being serious, they made bets on instagram, whatsapp and now manus and are great 2nd, 3rd and 4th acts even if external.
Instagram and WhatsApp were far from bets. Both were growing exponentially. Both were serious threats to Facebook's money machine. Facebook used their lucky cash cow money to eliminate the threat, by offering way more than any reasonable market value. Absolutely crazy money. An offer they couldn't resist, especially the investors. No bet, just an ice cold rational calculation. Anyone wealthy and crazy enough could ha…
You're not wrong, but also, it's a bit of hindsight bias: how many sure thing acquisitions whither?

He build the company for years, and made the brand to everything it is now. "Luck once" is a weird POV
I don’t know much about Notch so I have no comment on them specifically, but “building the company and brand for years” can still count as “luck once”. Once you strike gold and make it big, you have a lot of leeway for mistakes, it becomes harder to fail. Case in point, Zuckerberg.

They don’t need to be “sure things”, only threats. Once you buy the threat, whether it continues to thrive or withers is largely immaterial, the threat is gone.
