#2Great article. At 8 hours a day, 40 hours a week - 10,000 hours of practice will take 250 work weeks to achieve. That’s about 5 years of nearly non-stop programming.
Realistically, it takes closer to 10 years to achieve that goal.

#3This is marked as 1998, but includes mentions of e.g. Clojure and Go, so it's probably been updated since.

#7I've been at it for 20 years this year, professionally. For 38 years otherwise.
I still haven't learned to do it right ;)

#10I can't source the video that I watched 5-6 years ago [0] but it made a point about the increasing numbers of programmers and how the majority had less than 5 years of experience. It made sense in the context of IT/web continually having a larger involvement in our lives.

Can safely say after 20 years that there's maybe a bunch of information I don't need to know anymore that people And that there's plenty less experienced programmers than me that can do many things I can't even imagine.
TBF it's a pretty wide field, this Turing complete stuff.
