If only I had read this before I started the PhD. It would have only taken 7 days!

For real. If only the world really worked this way. Even programming languages take a bit longer than a week to really learn. I find I go through at least two levels with a programming language: the first at which I know the syntax and can code small projects comfortably (this takes about a week), the next at which I have developed a personal coding style that works well with language and allows me to handle large projects (this takes at least 6 months or so of regular coding).

Step 1) Read an introductory text Step 2) Do stuff with what you read

Is this news?

You forgot: Step 3) Significantly overestimate what you've learned.
