Jobs famously isn 't a trained programmer , engineer or mba , or even a wunderkind dropout steeped in any of those fields like bill gates or mark zuckerberg .
Though he had become white-haired and craggy , he retained the passion and quickness of a wunderkind , and no one could dispute the depth of understanding he brought to the podium , particularly in recent years , when his interpretive powers were sharper than ever .
When he started digg , he thought , " if this can pay my rent and I can chill in my apartment and drink my tea and have an awesome little office , that 'd be more than I could ask for . " It 's the kind of dream you 'd expect from a web wunderkind .
Today , however , young founders generally want to remain at the helm of their companies , and there 's a new shorthand for the kind of leader who 's willing to serve as a second-in-command , complementing without overshadowing the wunderkind entrepreneur : a sheryl sandberg .
