if I manage to get to mediocre, in about 10 years I'll switch into management (after seeing my ex get carpel tunnel), but I hear that requires being brilliant.
So maybe this is a sign-- I just got 169 "Proficient" on pluralsight. If I count on and off the hours spent reading/learning/fiddling... If I spend even 20 hours a month learning... 960 hours is a generous estimate for something I started since 2014 and had a million other life/stagnating full time work/health things going on.

You still need 10,000 hours to achieve mastery, but you only need around 20 hours to be good enough to be a pro :)
I aspire to be mediocre. The rest will work itself out! 🤪
