I’m Starting My 10000 Hours
November 3rd, 2011I can’t even remember how I came across this web series, but I am thoroughly engrossed in Made by Hand, a collection of short films about people running businesses where the entire premise revolves around making products by hand.
The latest film that I just watched was about Joel Bukiewicz of Cut Brooklyn, a writer come knife maker. He alluded to Malcom Gladwell’s premise stated in his book Outliers that success can be attributed to 10,000hrs on a particular skill.
And to see Joel working towards that and then go on to produce an amazing product before even completing the 10,000hrs has inspired me to do so with my programming. I have not focused on pure programming for a year or so, being focused on other areas.
But starting from tomorrow I will be documenting every hour of my coding experience until I get to 10,000. If anything else, it will provide a great story to my family and friends in the future.
So get ready for the first hour starting from tomorrow.
