The author agrees with x=10 based on the 10,000 hours hypothesis as she states in her article. She didn't base her agreement on pg's "hackers start at 13" statement. She agreed with it due to the shear number of hours it takes to get competent in a highly technical skill.
- lkbm 13y agoThe 10 000 hours thing is often paired with "3 hours a day for 10 years", but by my recollection there the only number with a basis is 10 000, not the 3 hours or the 10 years. I'm pretty sure she chose 10 years because she was responding to someone who chose 10 years.
