On: Why are so many successful founding CEOs software engineers?

I'm pushing 60 and university is STILL one of the most formative events, if not the most formative event, in my lifetime.

Say I majored in physics and went on to get a masters in fine arts and became a world-renowned screenwriter, would you call me a mathematician? That’s argument is equivalent with claims that Cook is a software engineer.

Anything you do in your twenties ends up being the most formative in general.

Sort of my point, saying that what you majored in uni doesn't matter is a bit silly.
