Imagine a gifted kid. Yes, autistic... that kind... Now no offense, but it's what Georgie is made of; Madly talented. Many called him "top 0.01% of programmer demographic", praising him like a secondhand god. That calls for the demand of talented folks, but in your average Joe thinking, who worked for money.
It's funny how these days everyone cares about their food, more than creativity. If you talk to any Asian parents about their kid's career path, they will just blurt out to them to learn fucking Scratch, to get a high paying job in Silica Value, etc. But isn't money the aim? Anyone?
George Hotz got a head start with his dad's influence, their destiny being nerds. So what nerds in their natural habitat would do, is to cure boredom by hacking. For me, I'd love to do that, but their ascension are now onto mega-nerds. I'm just a skid.
In 2007, a 17 years old emerged to the spotlight for his first (and greatest) achievement: SIM unlock an iPhone. With tangled wires he sat down, calmingly threatened old fart' Stevie on how they would talk to each other "Man-to-man", he said. Numerous contributions to the Jailbreaking community, both iOS and Playstation, would be made to raise George's fame a bit further.
Till 2017 is George time to build a self driving company, with a twist. Enrolls comma.ai, a embedded device, functioned phone-like but with open source software with the ability to control a normal car to drive automatically using the cameras. For the price of under a grand dollar, you can (literally) drive anywhere in the US, and contribute to the software itself! A dev's dream.
I want one now. This man is capable of anything.
He does stream on Twitch often (to cure boredom further), and I just sat there to admire, than learning. This dude can learn with a few Google querys and no further class that he need to pay. He is his own class. But some of the class, I disagree.
Look, afterall George Hotz is just a poser. Sure is talented, but egotistical. A very thin line between hacker and tech bro. Blasts Drake while smoking bong, you get the idea. If I met this man, the first thing would be to check his IQ.
