That's been his home since he fell in love with spreadsheets in the early 1980s, flunked out of MIT, and realized that while everyone else wanted to use spreadsheets to hide money, he could use them to find it.

So the "a career stretching back to the beginnings of Silicon Valley" is complete nonsense. It only stretches back to the 1980s, and Silicon Valley was already humming along at that point.
Sounds like whoever wrote the blurb for the eBook thinks Silicon Valley started in the 80s.
