College was my biggest mistake (2012)

A friend down the hall could learn a Caltech course in a few hours by flipping through the textbook. I was nowhere near as smart as him.

Now I'm curious. Do you know what he ended up doing?

Yes. He's actually fairly well known, but I'd rather not betray his privacy.

He's also one of the nicest and unassuming fellows I've known. He's like what people say Woz is like (I've never met Woz).

Wolfram or Searfoss. I'm guessing Wolfram. Based on a 2 minute Google.

Wolfram is nothing like Woz, though.

Fair enough. It makes me happy that there are people like that.
