Haseeb Quereshi is a software engineer and is on Yahoo front page for negotiation skills - Page 6 - Poker News

I've worked on a wide variety of software projects (from writing APIs in IBM assembler to developing mobile apps with React Native), and have a general sense of what's involved in becoming productive.

A smart, motivated person can def function as Web developer after the 8-10 months required for camp preparation, attendance, and interviewing.

This isn't research-level math or something with a deep hierarchy of abstractions. It's more like memorizing certain recipes and then practicing a lot at combining them quickly and accurately.

Just saw this article on the front page of NBC News online. It is dated 7/26/17. Gotta hand it to this guy - self-promotion is his game.
