I echo this, I come from a highly technical background (security) and the 1,000 hours thing is true - I think most people can do most things that have a large group of humans do them if they’re able to find a way to make the time investment and willing to fail a lot as part of the journey.

I’ve built a lot of shitty frontends and done lots of bad design work, but now I like to think while I’m no color theorist or UX expert that I can build products that are intuitive and look good.

A side effect of this is also that it’s seeped into the rest of my life and I now unfortunately spot design faux pas everywhere and laughing about bad font kerning (or “keming” - https://www.reddit.com/r/keming) usually gets me a sideways look from my friends and family lol.
