    The post suggests that the Jobs/Wozniak prototypes are no longer accurate. I think I generally disagree. We simply have many, many more Jobs than Wozniaks now.

    A lot of people now going into tech fields aren’t doing it because they love tech already and want to apply it (Wozniak); they’re doing it because they see the money coming out of tech and they want that money (Jobs). We used to have way more Wozniaks, and now it’s just ever increasingly inverted.

    I think it’s simply that many people who would have gotten commerce/MBA in 2008 got CS degrees instead. Finance bros moved into tech in a big way. These people influence the way that the nerds think and work.
