It is, IMHO, more complex than this.  The very first obvious parameter
here are the inherent capabilities of a person in software
development/design and implementation.  I do not mean necessarily to
make a web site from scratch.  What I mean is practical experience in
software already predisposes someone favourably when comes the time to
put a web site together using existing components.

The other notion would be what is becoming master at something and
why ?  Is it to be 'competitive on the market' ?  If so, some people
might consider that they do not want to be beside Beyoncé.  And the
market product of Beyoncé is some kind of a mastering at many level.

Some people will never play like Al Di Meola or that other guy that was
in Mahavishnu Orchestra ah, John McLaughlin.  Or Fripp.  Well, Neil
Young does not play like them, quite the contrary in fact.  Being a
master of playing 3 notes in one second for 3 minutes might not be as
good as playing only 20 notes inside 3 minutes.

Good at doing something with creativity and honesty is already very
worthwhile.

So it depends a lot on the person.
