It's odd that math, physics, and chemistry breakthroughs are often brought forth in silicon valley ageism discussions. How often are the main problems in dot-coms solved with pure research as opposed to trying to creatively work with given building blocks to construct a potentially evolving gizmo? Creative writing might be more like software development (and entrepreneurship) than theoretical physics or pure math. Writers have a general objective that may evolve, an internal toolkit they've acquired over 10k+ hours of writing, and the task of building something where all the pieces work together to achieve the objective. And does anyone think writers in college are better than seasoned veterans that have been writing professionally for decades?
