    The insight into his success is that he is clearly smart and focused. And he had an amazing foundation from childhood when it comes to learning/education and finding motivation from his peers. So, I don't think the avg person that is going the self taught route especially later in life would be able to take much from his success unless you also had an amazing foundation. I mean the guy literally got a Masters in Computer Science from a good college, its going to be hard to try to compete/emulate that. Also another theme I have noticed with successful people is getting in at the right time, and the right time often is at the early stages. The early 2010's era was still kind of the early stages of big tech for at least half FANG companies, facebook, and netflix.

    Some hopefully constructive critique: if you’re going to type while your interviewee is talking, please make sure it’s not audible to us listeners. It’s really distracting and grating on the ears. It also gives off the appearance that the interviewer is multitasking and not intently focusing on what the interviewee is saying.

    I know this isn’t hard hitting journalism or anything but I wish the interviewer had pushed back a little more or provided some context or counter points when his advice is basically “have competed in math tournaments and go to Ivy League then be funneled into big tech” I think this is tone deaf and basically works for 0% of freecodecamp’s audience.

    800k is more than most doctors and even surgical specialists.
    If you want us to take thia seriously post some evidence.
    800k a year you do that for 5 years and retire.
