I like this but I think all advice suffers from the problem of the people needing it being incapable of using it and the people who are capable of using it already know it.

You learn by doing x time. There's also a place for study, reading, etc. to supplement this.

This is true in software development. It's true in martial arts. It's true in chess. (the 3 things I've invested some effort in progressing in). I've taught martial arts but there's no magic advice I can give people that will instantly take them to the next level, they need to experience and work through things to progress. Having a teacher helps (a lot).
