Expert car mechanic doesn't take 3 yrs. I went from knowing nothing about cars to building my first race car in 2 years in my late teen years and that's without the wealth of knowledge I can find online today. ... and not just jamming a bigger v8 engine, but slamming a turbo on a 4 banger and not blowing up the engine and shaving almost 3 seconds off the stock 1/4 mile times, with limited budget too.
Something I see with most IT folks is that they think they are so special and feel very threatened when other's can learn what they can and faster too. Being an expert in 3 years is possible in most fields, all you need is dedication and deliberate practice.
We are not special, let's get over it. The only crap getting in the way of youngster's today is filtering out the noise since there's too much crap. But once they sort it out, they will move 10x faster than most of us old timers ever did.

Do you have anything other than a personal anecdote to back that up? > But once they sort it out, they will move 10x faster than most of us old timers ever did. So instead of 36 months, youngsters today can become experts in most fields in 3.6 months? That sounds preposterous. I assume you think that because of the internet and modern tech enabling much faster learning. But then old timers have access to the same tech and knowledge. So why can't they move just as fast?
