I hate bullshit like this. Practice makes perfect. Put time into something, and you’ll get good at it. That’s that, don’t jerk yourself off and think you are stronger and others are weaker.
- Some people are at this ALL day, that’s why they are good and getting better.
- Some people take DRUGS to do this all day.
- Do not doubt the sheer hours it takes to get good.
- Some engineers get worse because they practice the wrong things (whatever it is, could be a bad coding practice, it could be bike shedding, etc)
- Practice is a vector, it has magnitude and direction. Stop marveling at the final product of practice and marvel at practice itself. It’s powerful in either direction, it can lift you or keep you stuck in a Sisyphean loop.
- globular-toast 2y agoPractice does not make perfect. I know people who sing every single day, yet after decades of practice it's out of tune. Practice just means you'll get better at doing what you're doing. If what you're doing is wrong or lame then you'll just use even fewer brain cycles to do the wrong thing. Improvement only comes when someone specifically seeks out to change the way they're doing things.

- MrMcCall 2y agoTo sing well, one must first know when they're not singing well, so "singing every day" is not the key, singing better over time is the key, or the practice is not worth anything, except, perhaps, for volume :-)
