Guess you didn’t read to the end

  No, I did not. The question is ill-posed imo. I would invert the question and ask: "How not to suck at your work" as that would lead to similar conclusions, and is more actionable. This essay has too many weasel sentences like: "Boldly chase outlier ideas," "Husband your morale" "Doing great work is a depth-first search whose root node is the desire to. " "Curiosity is the best guide." This is woolly-feel-good writing that chatgpt and folks like steve pinker, deepak chopra etc specialize in, ie: a bag-of-words about fuzzy feel-good ideas we all want to hear.

    The essay is about something different than "how not to suck at your work".
