I second this ... find the gap between 2 different skills is so valuable.

Think of it this way:

1. skill to know the problem that needs to be solved.

2. skill needed to solve the problem

Second skill isn't necessarily programming computers btw - could be leadership, persuasive writing, film making, etc.
