don't forget to succeed first and then blog a retroactive confabulation of how strategic you were.

This is exactly what the posted article doesn't do though, and I really appreciate that. In fact it's absurdly rare to see someone share their success story while owning up to the fact that it 1) may not be universal 2) was not planned out in advance 3) may not even be repeatable. Major credit to Danilo for not falling into that trap.
