This almost feels like a realistic fiction book honestly, but that’s pretty amazing for him. When he said he wishes for leaders in influential positions to change their positions on people, I sort of agree but I more hope that those leaders will look at what this 14 year old has achieved and hold other people to higher standards. Not necessarily to the same standard as him, but just higher relative to what the bar is currently at right now

Not going to happen. On average people are performing to their abilities. We work to live not live to work. I like my job, and I care about my product, but I have a family with 2 young boys, and I rather focus on them then working harder.

How old are you? Your sentiment is not uncommon among the interns. Prios change as you learn and age.

As someone entering the workforce, made my own projects in my free time, paying attention to my peers, and using connections I have to talk to people hiring and in leader positions, people are absolutely not performing to their abilities. It takes 4x as many people to do the same if not less work than 10 years ago. The fact that I can spend 1.5 months working on learning how to be a full stack dev over the summer and that is more work than most of my peers is not a good thing. There needs to be higher standards or else we stagnate and dont improve
