I think I did not yet pass beond this phase. :
Within my newsfeeds today I found an article that in point 2. talks
about the 10 000 hour rule (I heard this before but did not think
further about it):

I tend to think that the features of a programming language itself is
often overrated.
I mean, who cares about about a particular thing you can solve in 1
