  The thruth
"It has many times been noted that human abilities in programming have a very long tail, with the best greatly exceeding the median, and that this ratio of abilities is higher than in any other branch of engineering. The same phenomenon occurs in the arts. One can only listen in amazement to a musician like Itzhak Perlman play the violin. This extraordinary phenomenon requires exceedingly rare innate ability combined with a love of the craft and the process of learning it, a determination to do one's absolute best, a willingness to spend upwards of 20,000 hours in its practice, and a confidence that all problems can be solved."
