summary
Claims that a 12-week apprenticeship (8w mentored + 4w project) with exposure to 9 mentors in 3 months accelerates learning “10x” by forcing short feedback loops. Practices are pair programming, TDD, deliberate practice and katas (allocate ~1 hour), and a concrete build: a console Twitter clone where choosing username as primary key replaces numeric IDs and simplifies queries. A parameterized-tests experiment unexpectedly passes, revealing dangerous test–implementation coupling and prompting design changes.
