10,000 hours makes for a competent beginner.  =)

But to be honest, there's no such thing as "complete".

I agree with the sentiment that you should just begin working on some
interesting projects.  *Doing* is what helps master programming.

In ten years you'll still be learning new and interesting things.
There won't be a point when you stop and say "I'm done learning now".
In programming as it is in life..
