This is pretty cool, and one thing would really help out a layman like me would be maybe a summary/top-line-conclusions that you found as part of your reverse engineering at the beginning of the post.

Reminds me of artists, how do artists stand out when photography can do better capture of reality (and easier, and cheaper, etc.) than artists can. Artists had to re-invent (or re-discovered, re-focused, etc.) themselves in all kinds of ways like cubism, impressionism, surrealism, etc.
Would coding in [brainfuck](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainfuck) be the marker of good engineers?
In the end, the criteria remains the same. The engineers that creates products other people would pay for. The engineers that can convince executives to pay them or let them do this and that freely. The engineers that are thought leaders and have wide audiences.
Anyway, at the micro level, I think "How to How" is still important. I believe in developers that can talk about their workflow in detail, how it evolved over time, etc. Really good engineers invest in the workflows of themselves and others. That's my benchmark before and still is even now.

I actually would argue that Hashimoto "left" earlier. He "stepped down" from the executive team July 2021 and became an individual contributor then. He likely lost interest/power a long time before 2023.

The first machine learning model trained in space was done in 2021. Makes for great headlines that goes all around the world though.

In a way, is the author advocating that the best way to get out of the rat race is to win at it?
Also, looks like the author is very different from the typical high school aged person. The author is clearly intelligent and highly motivated, they're also able to maintain good relationships with the people around them (teachers, internet friends, etc.), but if it was so easy, we would see more well-adjusted early graduates of the education system.

TIL there is an organization for fraud examiners and that they have a podcast!
Top 5 frauds apparently:
1. Boeing to plead guilty to fraud in US probe of fatal 737 MAX crashes [1] - btw apparently criminal charges being dropped by DOJ [2]
2. Truong My Lan facing death row after embezzling $12 billion from Vietnam's bank SCB [3] - btw apparently now it's only 30 years [4]
