I wanted to call this article, the luck o’ the Chinese.

There is a ‘signature business recipe’ for luck. See what is in Holly’s mouth “#poBox16589”. The Victoria’s Secret, secret shopping cart hack Kenneth Lin (Credit Karma) told me about. He’s CEO of Credit Karma. And we think engineers should manage their own luck.
