I am a programmer who wants to pick up a new language and become better at programming. I am trying to realize if 10000 hours is a good estimate of the dedicated practice on needs to do in order to become good? Else what are the hacks? I want to learn the MEAN stack.
Does it really take 10000 hours to master programming?
