There's also the old line "There are people who have ten years experience, and there are people who've had one years experience ten times over." There's a big difference between "doing something a lot" and "deliberate practice" where you actually plan to progress and improve and excel at what you're doing. I'm not any better at, say, washing dishes or vacuuming floors that I was 20 years ago. But I'm way better at programming, riding motorcycles, making espresso, and a bunch of other stuff I care enough about to "do it a lot" properly.
