Timing is very important

Timing is probably one of the most important thing in life. So if you come / build something first you have more chances for success.
Even if you just come first to comment youtube short / video or you are first to build some tool. Or at least second but with unique features that will be hard to copy by competitors that came before you.

Of course some can come after and build better, so timing is very important if everything +- same. In such situation who come first has huge advances.
