I have the best job I've ever had in my life because a website I built on a whim a year and a half ago happened to end up at the top of Hacker News for an entire day in April 2011.

By the same token, learning Rails, building the website, and making it interesting were all under my control, but there's absolutely no chance I'd be where I'm at right now had it not been for the existence of this message board.
