And the benefits start even early than 10 years. Even if you are not an expert, you will definitely be on the path and will be a much better programmer than you were earlier.

"10,000 hours" is definitely an order-of-magnitude thing. It would be interesting to think about whether certain disciplines/skills were easier to learn than others (eg. Python as compared to assembler :-) ). I suspect some things are more efficient to learn than others... Totally agree!
