Episode 2 is all about the 10,000 hour rule (popularized by Malcolm Gladwell). Mike Kang, CEO & Co-Founder of Launch Up, goes in depth into how in the entry level software engineering world, this idea has probably done more harm than good. Let's get more focused. Let's get exact.

Here are some of the points that we cover!

• Fact or off-base? What is the 10,000 hour rule and has Gladwell missed the point on this one?
• The complexity of the task determines how long it takes to be an expert.
• Professor Ericsson’s ideas of Guidance, Coaching, Naive vs. Deliberate Practice and how improvement absolutely depends on these factors.
• Jason Haden's concept of the 'Motivation Myth'. Motivation is the result of success, not the pre-requisite.
• Time and intensity are critical factors for learning. We need to focus on the wins that we can achieve in our daily lives, and in the moment. Thinking about arbitrarily large number of hours that need to be "filled up" to become an expert is the worst approach.

Enjoy and let's keep learning!
