Learning to program

I wish I had read this article a year ago. I think it would have helped me deal with some of the developers on my team. Anyway, it is a good read about how it really takes ten years to become a proficient programmer. Not something that can be accomplished in 21 days. I think many people know this as "a truth" but are not able to express it in a way meaningful to the common joe. Mr. Norvig pulls it off nicely.
