>> I think that so obviously the, like learning some foundational technology skills is really
important to most of the startups and the sort of like wave of new companies
that are starting are built on that to some degree.
Although I've seen a lot of people be really successful
who don't have that as their course goal.
You don't have, that doesn't have to be your most pressing interest
or necessarily even your major or anything like that.
It's funny actually, a lot of the really good programmers I meet are like,
have like art school type backgrounds.
Or music or something like that.
And people who were interested in programming and just did it on their own for fun.
Those are the people who tended to have the strongest skills over time
because it's something they always worked on.
So you don't need classical training too.
But that said, I would say that the, like a math or computer science
of physics major plays really well in that.
And then there are more and more opportunities now that weren't there I think when I was going
to school, like incubator type programs and stuff like that.
There are a lot of people who are trying
to engender this innovative spirit and stuff like that.

If you are interested in building something you can sort of build
and then immediately share it with people the world over.
It's not very concrete tips I guess, but I mean I think anyone that like has,
that sort of has the knowledge to put these things together,
it's really more about deciding it's something you're interested
in and sort of sticking with it.
Like finding a path for it.
