A professional programmer never stops learning. So forever?

A Professional Program Doesn't Care About How Much Time To Learn But Cares About How Much Time To Work And What To Work For

It might take up to or more than 5 years. It depends on number of projects you've completed.

It depends how dedicated you are to learning code. If you do it everyday for 3-5 hours and is making considerable progress in your projects then maybe a year or 2. Realistically, modern-day pros have years of experience with coding but as long as you are able to make error-free code with little to no referencing to guides then you are considered a pro. Long Story Short, you can't determinate by months or years. Every person is different with learning code. When you are conformable coding something relatively big by yourself then you are considered a pro.

Depends on how much time you put into it, there is no standard time. You have to keep learning though.

AT LEAST 5 years. Though 7 years is more reasonable if the languages you use are complex.

First, have fun learning, for a professional programmer the money is a consequence, not the goal. Code something and, after sometime learning, take a look in what you did before and you will have an idea of you evolution. Always keep atualizing yourself and never stop learning.

If you want to be pro then learn assembly aka low level programming. In assembly you get to manipulate hardware. Very few know low level programming btw

What is a professional? If you are being paid for what you doing then it is your profession and you are a professional. No one knows everything we learn as we go along. Everyone can learn something from someone else.
