Huh. Here I was thinking if you haven't founded your startup at 21, you might as well give up on your dreams.

- rhizome 12y agoHow many of the startups you're thinking of have wound up turning into businesses? Funding is not success.
- yen223 12y agoIf it wasn't clear that I was sarcastic, I can only apologize. I don't like the pervasive idea among tech types that you are essentially damaged goods once you turn 30. It's wrong-headed, it makes no sense, and frankly, it doesn't jive with my experience. Some of the smartest, most capable software engineers I know are in their late-30's. Of course, with Zuckerberg turning 30 this year, maybe now's a good time to short FB. Who knows.
