> First, the title: written in the past tense makes it seem like he believes the journey is complete.

How should he have formulated the title then? I think it is logically correct.

Anything in the present tense would be preferable. Just a one letter change would be an improvement: "How I Become A Better Programmer". If it's in the past tense, possibly some indication that he's partway along the journey, such as "How I Got to the Level of Programmer I Am Today" (not as punchy, needs editing).
