KDE developer here, still found the link useful (especially for HN).
Even when developing for proprietary platforms, many (though not all) of the concepts transfer over well to FOSS platforms, including for security, SQL, cloud/async programming, etc.
Free/cheap resources for a proprietary compiler (Borland C++ 5.02) were what led to me learning to program (and later learning about Linux) and so I want to explicitly make clear that such things are not inherently bad for Free Software or open source.
