I woke up and had a thought...

I may have exceeded "10,000 hours of experience" in programming.

10,000 hrs / 2hrs per day / 360 days in a year = 14 years

I've been programming for 20 years as a hobby, and 5 years professionally which I think averages out to the 2hrs per day

I wonder if and how I should put that more explicitly on my resume. And maybe that's why I see so many monkeys at work...

    I also realized lol can be interpreted like a emoticon of someone:

    -stretching
    -going banzai!!!!
    -clebrating (cheering, jumping up with joy, taking first place)
    -going WTF, I give up

    Early morning hours... Best time to come up with random thoughts

    But have you been programming with different languages?

    Cos I fear not the man who has practiced 10000 languages one hour. But I fear the man who has practiced one language for 10000 hours.

    @okkimus sounds like my a lot of IT monkeys...

    But yes 20 yrs of hobby programming and just one language? I pick up languages as needed and well I've built a lot of different things.

    @okkimus it sounds familiar but not sure who said it and what was the original...

    I think it's either Ben Franklin it Abe Lincoln?

    BTW I fear both... The first is an ADD monkey or a script kiddie that's always trying the latest thing but can't finish any.

    I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who had practiced one kick 10,000 times
