How do you even get to this take?

The guy clearly explained how he has built MULTIPLE successful products. So there is obviously more going on than sheer luck.

And jumping on the AI hype is exactly what being a good entrepreneur is all about: recognizing an opportunity/gap and capitalizing on it. And the reason he was more successful than those thousands other developers is because he understands that there is more to business than building a cool product. For example marketing, something that he is clearly very good at.
