I agree with several points you made, but I can't help but worry about the context of "Made Me Rich." Your last two paragraphs basically state that the design business elevated you to a management role and a chance encounter in Seattle brought you to untold success. Those two scenarios scream "I was lucky" and are unlikely to be a common scenario.
I understand that learning to code helps enable folks to expand their careers, but I would hesitate to tell them it'll make them rich. Your points about how spending 1 month building something and using e-learning are spot on however. I think that definitely the biggest take away.
