Great comment.
As a 27-year-old who has had several false-starts in my career, I'm already feeling some of that pain.
It strikes me that, since there are some important elements of human personality that can change over time, there are some 'geniuses' that blossom later or who are late to really get going for some reason.
This might be a point worth reflecting on for hiring in competitive fields. You could find some A+ candidates that have slipped through the cracks.
- chipsy 15y ago26 years old today. Definitely reflecting on this. I recall once reading that there are two kinds of breakthrough successes - younger "rockstar" successes driven by narrow, intense passion, and older "masters" who have accumulated an unmatched breadth and depth of experience. While I can see elements of both in myself, I can see the door for the first closing rapidly.
