In the article Zuck is quoted as saying "Young people are just smarter" or something to that affect. If that's the view of the Valley as a whole, as the article alludes to, does the Valley think that people get dumber as they get older or that young people are just coming out of HS/college smarter?
So has he set the date for his retirement, yet? I mean the board should have his ouster lined up by the time he hits 30, right? Oh crap! He's already 34. Nice knowing you Mark but it's time to move over, old man.
If you look at the linked source article, it seems like it's mostly "hire young people, they'll be more willing to go all-in on work" (vs people with distractions like kids or ideas about work-life balance)

I think if he had been older when he made that comment it would have been more interesting.
Personally I just read it as “young person pretty sure that young people are smarter”.
Old people are wiser.
