So, given the standard work year of 2080 hours, you're an expert programmer after just five years? Nope, not at all. I've been doing this fr almost 45 years, and I'm not an expert. I could be considered proficient, but I'm no expert.

Yet another marketing gimmick, similar to the 10,000 steps goal that all fitness trackers have used since the late 60s. See [10,000 steps a day — or fewer? - Harvard Health](https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/10000-steps-a-day-or-fewer-2019071117305) for the start of 10,000 as a "goal".
