Overall, sure. But a dose of pedantry: “Skill development is useless” does not seem to be the best title for that point, given that it argues gaining skill indirectly is useful. But I agree with the admonishment to just do the damn thing directly, not requiring yourself to have X degrees in Y fields before you even try. Just find what you need to know, and learn exactly that.

Very true, it was a rhetorical instrument. Explicit skill development is useless, implicit skill development is valuable; the latter occurs from doing the damn thing directly and figuring it out along the way.
