He's learning to play golf from complete beginner level and by the end of the 10k he aims to have become a pro golfer! After 2,300 hours his handicap is down to about 11 which is pretty good going. http://thedanplan.com/theplan.phpDobbinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14862146504343516373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6615941543485589009.post-63014852029297333442012-01-13T06:08:48.949+00:002012-01-13T06:08:48.949+00:00The 10k hours metric is used a lot in the tech com...The 10k hours metric is used a lot in the tech community. I've been developing software full-time for... 13 years? 3 different companies working for the proverbial "Man" but now I started my own company with a friend (who has the same level of experience). We've got about 2 years of experience developing iOS and Android apps now, so we aren't quite experts, but we're working towards it. It's and interesting experience to be a wizard in a certain field but start working on a small niche of that field (smartphone apps) and be quite lost.Kenny Wylandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17129538093718977326noreply@blogger.com
