Experience != skill. You can spend 10 hours a week doing project euler questions, or hacking together whatever CRUD app sounds cool. But that doesn't automatically increase your skill at all.
Sure, the more time you spend practicing, you will likely be better than had you not spent that time. But to compare it across people is meaningless. There are countless numbers of those who have spent decades in the grind and aren't much better than they were when they started. Compared to someone fresh out of college who can code circles around most.
Experience itself means little, if anything at all.
