There's a question in the article if he has spent more than 10.000 hours - - I think he has. First, he holds a masters in CS (5 years at Aarhus Uni at minimum). He got his MSc in 1988 and has worked with VM's since then - that's 21 years of experience in implementing VM's. So really, there isn't an easy way to become really, really good at something ;-)
- whacked_new 18y agoThe 10k figure is a nice rule of thumb, but it's not very informative if you're counting them. "10 years to an expert" is also a good rule of thumb (which comes to 10k hours, for 3 hours a day), but it's also uninformative to count years. For the average person who diligently hacks away, 10 years seems about right. But some people are ferociously quick at improving and that's just how they are.
