While I think its comical that the author casually recommends people to go "speak at conferences", theres some really good advice here.
I came out of a Hack Reactor and started pumping out React code for a small startup. After about 6 months, I was bored and decided to take some Bradfield courses just like this article recommends and the experience has been invaluable. Seeing how some "black boxes" work in details has been super illuminating and helpful at times. The core concepts and even just the code I was exposed to moved the needle in terms of my progress quite a bit and also showed me other areas of software engineering I didn't know existed when I got started.
