I’ll extend your statement to say that “these skills will be useful no matter where you go or what you do”. This article is a load of common sense, and I’m mildly offended by the condescending tone of the writing. I stopped reading halfway through the list. The author got stuck in one or more extremely dysfunctional organizations and is harboring resentments. In a functioning organization, you’re never going to have to deal with a superior who is embarrassed to admit they don’t understand a technical topic (it would instead be a normal conversation in which a technical person explains things to a non-technical person). Similarly, you would never roll your eyes at a superior’s lack of knowledge about a technical subject in a functional organization.
