Yes. He also says: “How do you find problems worth working on?” a senior engineer I mentor asked me recently. My point is that I'm working in a whole different environment, and the challenge - to me - is never finding interesting problems to solve, but identifying the most important problem out of a large pool of known problems.

“Can be a superpower” is so empty. What does that mean outside of trying to proliferate some cliche?

No, but I’m getting really tired of seeing things that took less effort to write than it does to read. People have to process this AI-influenced LinkedIn-influenced SEO-optimized Reddit-template dung heap of worthless content-style and get past it, because even though expectations may be low, it’s in bad taste to the point that it’s starting to embarrass on a cultural scale.
