Agreed. What a strange, and frankly embarrassing, way to present yourself when the chief complaint against you will invariably be your maturity. That funny anecdote aside, this line turned me off:
>While little data on the phenomenon exists, venture capitalists say they are funding more chief executives under age 21 than ever before.
It seems a bit disingenuous to jump from "We're funding a lot of really young people these days" to "Rise of the Adolescent CEOs" but I guess that's how you get readers.
With that annoyance also out of the way, I was encouraged to hear that these guys were doing fairly well, no bullying or anything, and that they were primarily interested in building cool new stuff rather than just making some cheap iPhone games for a quick buck.
