Nice writeup. One likely factor for Josh Gee's notable successes is his youth. Because he's outside of the power structures and politics. I started "adult" (office) work at 15yo. I got a lot done. Everyone loved the geeky computer whiz who could fix stuff. I got bonuses, perks, praise. This track record set me up for long-term failure. By the time I turned 25yo, I hit a wall. I was now an adult. With my own power. So I was now perceived as a threat. Sadly, I was completely oblivious to the changed dynamic. And I didn't have a mentor or any one else to clue me in. Since then, I've encouraged promising young talent to color outside the lines (eg be bold, don't wait for permission) while they still can. Just from his writing style, I think Josh Gee will avoid my mistakes.
