He was successful for way too long before it finally hit him. There's nothing to build confidence like real achievement, but also like real failure.

The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.
