We all need to practice to get better. In programming some may need 10,000 hours and some much more or less. I wouldn't even take 10,000 hours as a rule of thumb. I'll bet on a skilled programmer that is passionate about their work and wants to succeed.

I think the 10,000 hours rule should be be considered as necessary, not usfficient for success, at least in programming. One has also have the passion -the kick one gets when solving programing problems and seeing the results. Nevertheless I agree, it's a great book and I can't wait for his next book to come out (due in fall) I finished this book this summer too.
