I don't want to be too full of myself here, but I'm a very skilled and highly paid backend software engineer who knows roughly nothing about unicode (I google what I need when a file seems f'd up), and it's never been a problem for me. I'm sure the article is good but the title is nonsense.

The title is definitely nonsense. The reality is that for most people, they will never need to know the gritty details of how to encode or decode UTF-8. The article is interesting, but I was pretty put off with how the author led with such a hyperbolic (and untrue) claim.
