Be sure to put that on your résumé, kid. Maybe McDonalds will put you on the French fry machine, and then you might become President one day.

Some nattering negative nabobs sre just jealous.

The kid showed superb eye-hand coordination,pattern recognition,and ability to process visual information quickly.

Could be an air traffic controller.

...and there went his chances at getting a girlfriend from probably a good three quarters of eligible women of the appropriate age...

Subtract the time spent playing from 16 and that’s the kids mental age.

I bet Musk is on the phone trying to hire this kid

I used to make fun of a guy my kids were watching on youtube. Mid to late 30s playing video games. Later, I found out that guy was making $20 million a year between youtube ads and his own e-commerce website.

If this kid ends up making 6-7 figures, I'm quite sure he'll find a girl.

LOL. If he ends up making 6-7 figures a girl will find him. Probably many girls.

There are times when my wife packs the dishwasher that I feel compelled to tell her that when I become Benevolent Despot I’m going to have to impose a rule that any woman who wants to install an automatic dishwasher in her kitchen has to be able to complete at least Level 8 on Tetris to get one.

I prefer dishes be washed in the dishwasher with high heat and dry, sterilization.................
