I wish I could also become a "Rockstar" or a "comedian" or something else reading things titled "How To Become A ..."

Hmm, can't see the word "open" written there, doing/contributing to open source projects would definitely give a person, true feel of what if feels like writing software in large groups of people.

Given that there's at least two links to Flex websites on the blog, that's not surprising.

That's a good point; getting in to the popular open source libraries is definitely a good thing for somebody to do, whether for reference or as a contributor.

I'm actually writing an open source library for Flex (although I have not publicly released the source yet - it's pre-alpha and being reviewed by some peers).
