Dd I miss something or does this really say that solving a problem like a software developer is doing a number of steps that aren't solving the problem and then solving it inside a single step? That seems like a lot of overhead to get anything done.

I believe that people tend to jump into "solution-mode" too fast. I think it is important to do the proper research before junpung to false conclusions. It is often times not about the solution but the environment the solution lives in. This us what I tried to bring across in the article.
