Burn Rubber Does Not Mean Warp Speed
summary
Modern quick programs (24 hours to 6 months) create a false expectation that developers arrive ready; historical apprenticeships run seven years as apprentice and three years as journeyman and deliberate practice targets 10,000 hours. The claim is to treat apprenticeships as a product: structure a two-year apprenticeship, contract for three years, protect mentor time, use pedagogy consulting, expose apprentices as internal journeymen, and measure progress regularly rather than letting work crowd out evaluation.
