Having worked many places and looked at various technical solutions developed and used, I can understand where the author is coming from. Many things work and get the job done, but it's clear that the creators had little knowledge about how to solve the problems they solved from a mere technical know-how perspective.

I read him as don't think you need to know everything about something to start doing it.

"don't think you need to know everything about something to start doing it" is probably a more accurate title, but less snappy. Also it doesn't hurt for the title to be a bit polarizing. ;0)
Agreed that this is a thing, but this is not what the article is about. Running a business and having software engineering prowess are two different problem areas.
I know, it was just an example of the same in another area.
