Yes, he had the mix of IQ and specialized knowledge which, having studied only computer science and applied math (no physics or engineering courses), I lack.

I actually kind of hate that there were holes like this in my education because I could have made myself take those courses in school whereas going back to learn them now - or other subjects that might be useful like biology or chemistry - feels burdensome.

Laser focus seems like a good idea when you are young but this ended up causing lopsided knowledge.

And now I would probably be better off just upgrading my coding skills or learning more about investing.

But I also like to expand into new areas. It's a dilemma...
