this is what i came here to say (take with a grain of salt of course, because i also do developer advice).
Magnus Carlsen has a coach. Serena Williams has a coach. To some extent you really don't care whether your coach is themselves independently capable, you only care that they make you better. it could be a rubber duck, it could be a talking tree, it could be a blog on "how to be great developer".
that said, yeah some of the advice out there is definitely bullshit, some other advice works for some but not others. you have to sift through all that/keep an open mind to just find the advice that works for you.
