I don't know - I think it's more akin to spending 20 years as a dev in various companies, then one day saying "I'm finally going to take a chance on that start-up idea".
We'd probably be saying pretty much the same thing (regardless as to whether some of what she/he'd done had made a real difference to those companies) - "she/he spent 20 years writing code, but XXX was her/his first real accomplishment/success..."
As I've been told many, many times - overnight success is usually preceded by 10 years of hard work.
