Well, this is actually a very good advise, if you have an audience. I personally train teenager students in high school (or the european version of that) to help them through their programming lessons and prepare them for tests. It's very often an amazing insight in the thoughts of those kids, how they "see" code, what it tells them. How code ... speaks ... to them. And when I listen closely, I can find the breakpoints, where their thoughts go wrong, where their mistakes start. Be it low knowledge of the english language (for german, or more general, non-english-people there are sometimes things in programming languages that they misinterpret - especially teens), or simply the lack of logical thinking. And yes, sometimes you learn something knew, while you teach. But most important: It's fun. I love it.

I'd go for: Teach programming to Yourself to become a better programmer. Jokes aside, I agree with the author.
