Those trajectory tropes are just fairy tale narratives crafted by publicists to instill a sense of awe and reverence, just like you fell for. Zuckerberg is the closest we have to a failed example of this, only because he's been under the spotlight since he was a teen. Do you think if you'd grown up with Altman, had to listen to him chew or watched him struggle to fit in with his classmates, he would still glow with such heavenly light in your eyes?

Many of my clients didn't pick up steam for their biggest projects until they were in their 50s, 60s, or even 70s, because that just happened to be the age that they started feeling like they had to start working towards them.

Put differently, you're going to turn 37 whether or or not you try, so wouldn't you rather be older and at least have tried doing tech?

Potential is worthless, otherwise we'd be ruled by burned out child geniuses.
