I bet they could if they put the time into it and had the same level of interest. Being able to do that stuff isn't a magical attribute you're born with... He worked hard at it. The innate aspect is that he has a natural interest and drive to make apps, and put his time into that as opposed to other things. Which I think a lot of us here can relate to. :)

Yeah, that is a popular meme. > Being able to do that stuff isn't a magical attribute you're born with... > The innate aspect is that he has a natural interest and drive to make apps, and put his time into that as opposed to other things. Sure, many people fail due to a lack of effort but pretending everyone is equally intelligent is little more than an easily perpetuated self deception. Genetics and early development [i.e. the first few years of a child's life] play a very large role in a person's ability to achieve things by the age of 20.
