Hustle and Code: "In Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years, author Peter Norvig posits the quintessential question in this knowledge arms race, 'Why is everyone in such a rush?'
To bring the point home, Norvig did an Amazon search to see how many book titles promised to teach you something in X amount of days. He received 248 hits. Later he swapped days with hours with similar results at 253 hits. Norvig goes on to note that 96% of the titles returned were computer and programming related. That was 2001."
