I disagree with the argument that today's inventions are only incremental improvements "because someone invented the automobile" - if Tesla (or any other manufacturer) really manages level 5 autonomy at some point, it will indeed be a breakthrough. Or just take CRISPR - that in itself is a remarkable invention. Improvements to solar cells and batteries will eventually upend the whole energy sector.
I do agree with the author that good writing is a business advantage. E.g. developers who are good at writing blog posts or email newsletters can become widely known (and booked). I don't see the author make a compelling argument in the article that supports this though.

Without improvements to steelmaking, the combustion engine wouldn't have been possible. Without Ford's incremental improvements to assembly lines, they would have been too expensive for mass market, etc.
