This is not an original idea: https://waitbutwhy.com/2014/05/life-weeks.html But I don't see credits anywhere.
The other responses to this comment seem oddly defensive to me. I was thinking the same thing - in particular, the format and the connection to famous milestones are similar in a way that's uncanny.
Would be nice to have lines representing decades. Also I doubt 91 year lifespan.
"If it takes 50 weeks to become advanced at any skill, you can learn about 44 new skills during your career or 64 if you include retirement. Might as well pick something for this week" This last statement really stood out to me. Especially as someone who has been feeling like theyre are late to the career phase of life.
Curious why this seems to make a record in a database with an autoincrement ID for each sumbission( https://www.failflow.com/die/1102 ). Try putting a number <1500 at the end of the URL to see some strangers' answers.

For business ideas, originality is great, but execution is everything.
For hacker ideas, originality is great, but the hack value is everything.
There's nothing gained by poo-pooing someone else's fun little project.
Be positive, encourage more hacking, encourage more people building things.

"On average, women get 364 weeks of life than men" I think this should say "364 more weeks".

50 weeks seems too low. Even if you're going all-in "do nothing but this" I have hard time believing you can go from "no idea" to mastery in less than a year in most subjects.
I like it! I think it should also add in "If you commute 2 hours/day, 5 days per week, you'll spend X weeks sitting in a car."
