Okay, this makes things clearer :)

Like everything, I write it is my opinion (see the last point in the article).

The first two to build on each other you are right. still, They both are a little bit different. You can sometimes abstract without asking questions.

The second point and third point are also linked! You need to communicate to ask the right questions.

Still, for me, these are different skills. You can be a great communicator without understanding anything cough sales cough.

You are right today; it is easy to fake things on social media. Just look at Instagram. People with zero practical knowledge are just restating what they have found works well.

One of my top posts is about that you don't need a fancy setup and RGB lighting and five monitors to be a great programmer. The amount of DM's I got after this... Crazy that people think that!

I don't want this to be a measure and these are not the only points. These are just something people don't talk about and is overlooked often.

Thank you :)
