While the idea seems sound. The amount of hours should be a variable in this case to be adjusted according to someone's own pace of picking new stuff up.

- escherize 11y agoAhh, so you completely agree with the article. While "100" is an easy-to-remember round number, it's just an approximation. Some fields might require ten or twenty hours to achieve a level of medium competence, while other fields might require several hundred hours.
- joepvd 11y agoPlease note that the article make the required time dependent on the field, whereas GP talks about persons.
- Kurtz79 11y agoI would say that between 10 and "several hundreds" hours the difference is so big to make a "100 hours" rule kind of pointless. If the bottom line is that the more you practice the better you get (or rephrasing it, if you practice a relatively small amount of hours you will be more competent than an absolute beginner), well, breaking news from the Department of the Bleeding Obvious.
