There’s a saying about spending 10,000 hours to become an expert at anything. What they don’t tell you is you could spend 10,000 hours learning and never create anything - ending up a theoretical expert.
Instead, aim for 10,000 iterations. Let’s say you code, debug, code, debug - repeating that 10,000 times with a programming language. If you do this in less than a year, you could easily be called an expert in that language.
Why? Because you’ve likely faced the hardest problems in that language at least a hundred times during those iterations.
This is why you need urgency in learning - so you can hit those iterations fast.
Stay focused.
