Does it really take 10000 hours to master programming?
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.

- i0nutzb 9y agoActually those 10k hours are a (semi) myth: it may take a bit less to get started [1] and it's all about deliberate practice, not _just_ practice. The „secret” is hid in plain sight: just do stuff. The more - and diverse! - you do, the more you learn. You know more, you can do more, so you can learn more.
