Lakeside School's computer terminal in 1968 was extraordinarily rare — Gates has estimated that only a tiny number of teenagers in the world had comparable access at that age. The terminal existed because the school's mothers' club held a rummage sale and spent the proceeds on computer time, a detail Gates himself brings up often. By the time he founded Microsoft at 20, he had already accumulated thousands of hours of programming practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The practice was also unusually intense. Gates and Paul Allen spent nights in the University of Washington computer lab, and at one point negotiated free machine time in exchange for finding bugs in a company's software — an arrangement that gave two teenagers effectively unlimited access to a mainframe. Very few adults working professionally in computing at that time had logged comparable hours.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was also born in 1955, which put him at exactly the right age when the Altair 8800 appeared in 1975. A few years older and he would have been settled in a career; a few years younger and the window would have closed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Steve Jobs was born in 1955. Paul Allen in 1953. Steve Ballmer in 1956. Eric Schmidt in 1955. Scott McNealy in 1954. The clustering is not a coincidence, and it is one of the better-known illustrations of how much of exceptional achievement is a question of being the right age when a technology becomes available. A birth cohort is not a cognitive trait.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gates' family background matters too, and he has never pretended otherwise. His father was a prominent Seattle attorney and his mother sat on corporate boards, including a connection that has been credited with helping open the door to IBM at a decisive moment for Microsoft. None of this diminishes what he built. It does mean that any single-number explanation of the outcome is leaving out most of the causes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\n    \u003Cdiv class=\"article-warning\">\n      \u003Cdiv class=\"article-warning__title\">\n        \u003Cspan class=\"article-warning__icon\">⚠️\u003C\u002Fspan>\n        The counterfactual\n      \u003C\u002Fdiv>\n      \u003Cdiv class=\"article-warning__body\">Give the same person a 1590 SAT, the same work ethic, and a birth year of 1945 or 1965, and the Microsoft story probably does not happen.

Gates famously underestimated the internet in the early 1990s, and Microsoft's 1995 pivot was a correction rather than a prediction.
