10,000 hour rule

Whether it’s 10,000 hrs or 10,000 experiments, shouldn’t that be the determining factor for hiring/promoting?

No.

Why?

Because everyone figures out answer to your question at different rate. Agreed it might take 10,000 hours for you.

10000/8 hrs will make 1250 work days will in turn become 3.4 years this is for average person and if you born to work and work 20 hrs still you need to clock 1.3 years to be hired or promoted. It does make any logical sense and there is no way to measure how quickly you can learn logic...unless until you want to participate in time bound burger eating competition or some repetitive mundane tasks..

Promotion once a year. Mainly my salary. Cool? I will take that!

The company doesn't pay you nor promote you for how hard you work but what value you bring to the company. If someone else do more in 1000h than you do in 10k hours, then this person will get the promotion... There are a lot of hard worker who only get minimum wages, that's life

If and only if that’s so simple AND if there is an objective measurement. For smaller company that’s easy to decide.

10,000 hrs wasn’t a rule it was just the average if I remember correctly. The range was actually 5000-15000 hours depending on people’s backgrounds. And that just deals with mastery of a domain. Mastery != Job performance. I’m sure we’ve all met that engineer that is intelligent and talented but can’t get features out the door to save their life. Idk it’s kinda already in place. Yoe and whiteboardjng (good ones) and system design questions address this in a round about way imo
