The sarcasm makes no sense. I point out that he didn't start working on the really cool projects right away and that's supposed to support the notion that life ends at 30? I don't get it. The guy's clearly at the top of his game and he's 40.
The people who are revered here (justly or not) are people like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Richard Branson. All in their 40s and 50s.
And yes, if you're going to do a startup you might as well do it in your 20s (all of the people above did!) because you have fewer responsibilities when you're young, and when you're older you often can't afford to put your life on hold.
