I keep seeing this number being thrown around in the startup world and in entrepreneurship in general.
I recently read an article by James Clear where he talked about the most successful composers, and how they had to go through the "10 years of silence".
Then we see how tech companies only amass most of their market cap after year 10.
Then of course we have Malcom Gladwell's 10,000 hours rule, which seems to translate to ~10 years also.
Is it basically an airtight argument at this point?
