this seems deeply misguided.. the phrase "its all good" comes to mind, which is common, but meant to be comforting, not factual. This comment makes no distinction within the world of software, between architecture, experiment design, experiment interpretation, accurate input, accurate/effective team participation, reporting and communications, and more .. To day "read a book" then "do it" is a nice thought, certainly. The lack of self-awareness about what it is to build skill, and the lack of acuity to see what is effective practice versus say, noise.. hm

Perhaps, vetted and peer-reviewed on the one hand, and person on the commute bus with a pop-topic book on the other.. there has to be some awareness of that spectrum. With no indication of that awareness here, it just does not bode well.
