The Art of Computer Programming - Typist Mike

This quote was added by typist_mike
Some people think that just following a computer programming tutorial online qualifies them to say they are programmers. However, the true art of programming requires many hours of dedication. Given my professional experience, my estimate is about ten thousand "hands on" hours before one learns the mastery of this trade, not inclusive of the time spent learning the basics. And once that point has been reached, one then realizes you truly can't ever master this trade. Quite the paradox.
