I don't accept that someone is unemployable unless they have extreme physical or mental handicaps. I think what the article reveals is that this person's ego is heavily invested in the idea that they are competent in areas they are not. If your mental schema is wrong, you cannot take life's feedback that you need to put in the work in areas you aren't getting your desired results. If you're not careful your ego will prevent your growth.
Overcoming ego is hard... but not impossible. It's like telling someone they are parenting their children incorrectly, but you're the one telling this to yourself. Often it takes an emotionally difficult situation that triggers deep self reflection or incredible friends whom you trust, and who are willing to speak the truth.
I'm happy that the blogger has seemingly found a way to be happy, but I can't help but wonder if they've just optimised for a local maximum, and not their full potential.
