Or for those of us who actually like learning, we'll keep on studying Latin and physics and anything else we feel like.

That attitude represents the wrong way to read the article. He's not arguing against learning in general, but the claims that knowledge is transferable. Study Latin if you're genuinely interested in learning Latin, don't study it because you think it will help you be a better programmer.

TL;DR: "If you want to become a great software engineer, learn to program better"
