Not to sound too argumentative, but let me clarify: > "young guns" Age has nothing to do with my list. > He is the kind of guy that wakes up one morning, and writes a interpreter of a 4g scripting language in a couple of day fluff talk. You cannot recognize a man who is said to do this by his acquaintances. Almost always, when someone is said to be like this, it turns out to be a gross misinterpretation of their actual ability. > And he is very normal, I am not at all saying that such people cannot appear and act so. This is important, I am talking about what the person thinks, in his head. NOT how he appears or acts. > Please tell me, you can be very productive more than 8hrs a day on the long run. I'm just talking about being able to get into the zone and stay there for as long as possible. Nothing to do with work schedules. You've really got me wrong on that one. I'm not saying the same amount of work has to be done every day either. > made some good money during the last tech boom. Unfortunately, that's not a good metric either because a ton of both morons and smart people got rich. (Aside: Wow it sucks to not be able to edit comments here now..)
