      And given how many people did, it's worth considering that interpretation a bit more deeply.

      On the surface it seems straightforward - maybe even obvious. How could it be controversial to say "do something more to get better at it"?

      I have three points I want to make about this. The first is that this statement actually does not represent how human learning works.

      The second point: even if we assume the original poster knew how complex learning is, the context still makes the statement problematic.

      And the third point is that even if we acknowledge the complexities of learning AND discard the context, it's still bad advice.

      I'm not going to spend much time on the first point. The complexities of human learning are well-documented.

      It matters a lot HOW you spend your practice time. For a complicated skill like programming, you generally need to be very intentional.

      Time alone is not sufficient; it has to be well-spent time, and figuring out what well-spent means for you is often not easy.

      In the software industry, most people are entirely unaware of how deep this topic goes.

      At best, they've heard the pop culture admonition to put in 10000 hours to get good at a skill, so they assume more time is better.

      the biggest WAT for me about the original tweet is ignoring the role of stress and downtime in human learning.
