Lots of tech luminaries chiming in with their responses to the presumption that your Silicon Valley life is over at the age of 35.

What do people in Silicon Valley plan to do once they hit 35 and are officially over the hill?
Answer (1 of 125): I turned 35 the year I founded Wikipedia. 38 the year I founded Wikia (now ranked #30, quantcast).
The premise of the question is wrong. A better question might be: How can we in the tech community make sure that unusual success at a very early age is not mistakenly thought …

I kid. I have no idea. I've never tasted baby.
Actually, the link presents the results of a brain imaging study in which women were presented with the smells of a newborn.

Why do you want to eat the baby?
What woman has not wanted to gobble up a baby placed in her arms, even if the baby is not hers? This reaction, which everyone has noticed or felt, could have biological underpinnings related to mat…

If an elderly but distinguished scientist says that something is possible, he is almost certainly right; but if he says that it is impossible, he is very probably wrong.

Encouraging children to see personal attributes as malleable (work hard to be smarter, work on personal weak areas to improve them, etc) seems like a good thing to do.
The key finding was the more parents tended to praise their pre-school age children for effort (known as process praise, as in "good job"), the more likely it was that those children had a "incremental attitude" towards intelligence and morality when they were aged seven to eight. This mindset was revealed by their seeing intelligence and moral attributes as malleable. For example, such children tended to agree that people can get smarter if they try harder, and disagree with the idea that a naughty child with always be naughty.
I've always tried to use "great work"-style of encouragement with my daughter, but, for some reason, its hard! "You're so smart" type of encouragement seems to just slip out without thinking. I think I usually catch myself and amend my comment to include some sort of "great job"-style of encouragement.
