you'll need a good book, 75 hours is a long time to spend

So it all comes down to "100 hours of something and you'll know more about it than someone who didn't take 100 hours"

Uh. Okay.

250 hours is a lot of time!

Yeah 10-15 hours is kinda crazy for an introductory topic.

I think in 40 hours you can learn more than that.

I read that - but 80 minutes felt extreme.

80,000 Hours.

25 / 3 hrs

More like 75 hours due to the government and their infernal taxes.

It was actually 250 hours

Interesting article, thx for sharing. I am curious, do you feel two hours is enough for quality time?

noirman | karma 123 | avg karma 1.95 · | 2012-09-02 17:13:48

"75 years rule" is the new "10,000 hours rule".

10 hours is a long time.

6 hours is kind of an exaggeration, it's more like 2 hours total which could be well worth it

Absolutely. I'm not sure why everyone else in this thread seems to be focussing on the "70+ hours" part specifically. I agree with your interpretation.

Also the importance of regular evaluation. You can develop a lot of bad habits in 1500 hours.

18 hours doing what?
