My answer to How can one become a masterful Rails developer (and still have a life)? on Quora
Don’t sacrifice your social life. Sacrifice TV.
Most people manage to maintain an active social life while also watching multiple hours of TV every day. Imagine how much Rails you could learn if you dedicated a couple of hours to it every day for 6 months.
Also, build real projects. Reading tutorials doesn’t count if you’re not also writing code.
