> ”Bill Gates spent thousands of hours learning to program”

Here's the full quote: "Bill Gates spent thousands of hours learning how to program computers—but he only had that opportunity because he had the good fortune of having parents who supported his education."

I think you're in violent agreement that 10,000 hours isn't sufficient.

I thought Gates success is because he was good at business and good at leading company.
That only gives the reason how he could spend thst time, it doesn’t explain that this time was at best a part of his success.
