P0sixninja, a prominent former iPhone jailbreaker, is homeless and looking for a job. Does this suggest that talent alone isn't enough to succeed today?
🏒 Lucian Marin
Yes. I know this from my own experience. Talent isn't important to managers.
👨🏻💻 Moroni
I would argue Talent is important to managers, but it's not the only criterion.

Would you have to be a good employee, as well as talented?
👨🏻💻 Moroni
I'm thinking that you can have talent but if you don't have emotional intelligence, strong social skills, among other factors, you won't succeed.
