The man who broke bowling
It's really interesting to contrast this with this old article on software developers, "expert beginners" and skill plateaus ( <a href="https://daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-the-expert-beginner/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://daedtech.com/how-developers-stop-learning-rise-of-th...</a> )<p>Bowling technique is used as an example of something you can abuse in order to get quick wins and easy improvement on bowling ability, yet quickly hit a skill ceiling and you must relearn correct technique from the beginning (actively get worse at bowling) if you wish to reach an advanced level.<p>From TFA there also seems to be a third path of "this isn't wrong, it's actually a better technique", and the article does outline the whole journey of self-coaching, being called a cheater and ultimately being validated via a string of victories and imitators.
