It seems odd to practice things you rarely do.

I went one stint where I didn't start a new project for 5 years. Practicing new projects in that time period would have been a whole lot of wasted time.

To make you less fragile to disorder. The things you do regularly are trained into you by repetition. You practice under developped skills to stay flexible and able to adapt.

Very similar to physical fitness. Sitting all day trains you to sit. And that’s making you more fragile

If you don't do it, how can you know what's going on inside and how it works?

I don't think practicing how to spin up a hello world web app from zero is gonna be very good at teaching you how it works inside.

Most of the inner working is hidden

Do you need to know what's going on inside? Or can you trust a colleague who's responsible for that?

If you don't know what's going on inside, how can you claim to have an opinion about its reliability and suitability?
