›Market overview
Computer vision remains a distinct specialization despite LLM dominance in headlines — autonomous systems, medical imaging, manufacturing QA, and retail all depend on purpose-built vision models.
The 10,000-hour rule says mastery requires roughly that many hours of deliberate practice. At 1% improvement per day, you are 37x better in a year. This roadmap is a structured path, not a race — follow the steps in order, build the projects, and trust the process.
