“Why are most chess masters under 30? I don’t know. Young people just have simpler lives. We may not own a car. We may not have family. Simplicity in life allows you to focus on what’s important.” ---Mark Zuckerberg
Because chess is more important than family.
I love this place, but will not deny that the Bay Area tech community's hubris is at astronomical levels.
...I'm just glad we're done talking about splitting California into smaller states.

- perrylaj 12y agoGood point. The counter-quote could easily be something like "Why do most Nobel Prize winners do their prize winning work in their mid/late 30s? I don't know. Older people have more experience. They prioritize. They have families. Having more responsibilities forces you to be more efficient." But I won't knock Zuckerberg for being young and naive once. I was too. Hopefully he's growing up a bit and realizing that there is a lot more to success than founder age.
