I agree with Bill. From what I've seen, there's just no crossing the skill chasm as a software developer. You've either got it, or you don't. No amount of putting your nose to the grindstone will change that.
Not true with the current neuroscience. Well, in reality, that's what is happening. But do you know why? I'll tell you: Because I'm obsessed with programming. The typical programmer that is not obsessed will just make use of the skills he got while programming and learning. These skills are limited to the time he spent learning/coding.
I'm obsessed; I learn and code even when I'm not in front of the computer.The time of my experience expand. Add to that, the fact that I'm obsessed. I'll brainstorm code/ideas/tricks/google... to get that thing working. I'll make any opportunity in life to learn more about programming. This gives me advantage over that typical programmer that disconnects when he quits his job.
