Seems like a worthwhile sentiment.

Though, of course, it's also missing a few significant points.

Like, APIs have always been that important. And, for most purposes,
most of them are irrelevant and ignorable. Though which ones are
irrelevant depends on what you are trying to accomplish.

And *that* brings up a really important thing, which is that APIs by
themselves are worthless. It's what they let you access that matters.
So you need to combine development skills with insights into real
world problems (making stuff, for example, or growing food for another
example).
