Even after a decade, many coders make limited progress for their potential, and some make very little. Progress depends on balancing consumption of knowledge and application. If one consumes a lot (watches many YouTube videos) but does not create anything with this knowledge, it is evident that they will not progress quickly. If one constantly applies the same knowledge and never seeks to learn new things, they will likewise stagnate.
