if u buy that 10% improvement by 10x effort and mapping the 10000 hours: 10000 -> 99.9% 1000 -> 99% 100 -> 90% 100 hrs is about 13 weeks (a quarter) of 3 uni

if u buy that 10% improvement by 10x effort and mapping the 10000 hours: 10000 -> 99.9% 1000 -> 99% 100 -> 90% 100 hrs is about 13 weeks (a quarter) of 3 uni 1hr credits + 1.5hr practice = 13 * 3 * (1 + 1.5) if u take deliberate practice as vector, that's only the magnitude part the direction part is what to study and that ends up being more important given a constraint of 100 hrs, a nonprogrammer will end up becoming more productive studying lisp compared to java but of course, to say such programmer is 90% better than average is too much :D ... and controversial
