So, you get to say something incredibly invalid and easily disproven like "you can not learn any skill in 10 weeks" because I wrote an essay in 2008? Four years

Let me guess, you aren't very good at this whole logical argument thing which why you're just wrong here.
Again, merchantable skill is subjective and based on the free market, so no, I could learn a "merchantable" skill in 2 hours. Cleaning toilets comes to mind as one very such skill.
You're just wrong. It's possible to learn skills in 10 weeks of 8-10 hour days, and learn them well. It's possible to become a junior programmer in that time. It's possible to learn a ton of different skill in that time. You actually meant mastering these skills, and just refuse to admit it.
- meaty 14y agoNo that's not what I suggested. Read it again a couple of times, carefully. I think it was a logical and concise argument. Perhaps a better statement is: "any semi technical skill takes way more than 10 weeks to become productive and not a risk". Are you happy now?
- dools 14y agoI still disagree. There are a shitload of very technical skills you can learn in 10 weeks proficiently enough to produce valuable work. Risk management is up to the employer.
