I learned about the Luck Surface Area concept about four years ago, but I realized I've been using it before. In essence, it comes down to doing more different stuff (not more of the same stuff, IMO) that's somehow aligned with your long-term goals or vision.

Good luck with the launch, John!

Likewise I never knew I was doing it, but now I've seen it explained it matches my experience.

By showing yourself to the world, you create so much luck for yourself. And by having this luck, you open yourself to new opportunities.

Great article, John!

Thank you Syed, glad it's useful.

Please don't talk yourself down, as a junior you may have less experience, it doesn't make you dumb, it just means you started gaining the experience after someone with more experience.
