Life is a lottery.
I had the opportunity to take a job as lead programmer at a dot com that ended up becoming one of the biggest entertainment companies of the early 2000's and I passed for a job at a company that went bust in 6 months.
The only lesson I got from this post is one I already know - don't regret your decisions because you can't see the damn future.
The butterfly effect is also worth considering. There’s no telling that the current outcome is inevitable if you had chosen to participate.

True. Judging from the author's terrible decision-making abilities, the company would probably have gone belly up before it got to series A if the author had joined sooner as a director.
Going into the unknown can be guided by things other than luck and randomness. Did you figure out why you chose what you did?
