Write more code. Stretch yourself. Learn how other people work and figure out how you can improve what they do, because that tends to be the bailiwick of what he's referring (mistakenly, IMO, but the bucket is probably fine even if the label isn't) as "real software development".

I didn't write Auster[0] for me, I wrote it because other people needed a tool and it fit the parameters. I'm not writing Modern[1] for me, I'm writing it because there's a hole in the ecosystem that somebody has to solve, and I'm a someone.
