"The best programmers" aren't all fixing bugs in iOS apps. The blog post perfectly outlined people who are motivated by other things. I don't want to work at a company where "realistic" work is me working alone on doing assigned tasks.
I identify with the "product engineer" concept they outlined, I want to talk UX and user testing in an interview not prove I can understand someone else's code base. Honestly many companies will get far more value of a programmer who has user sympathy and writes user-friendly applications than one who writes a fully tested, bug free and technically sexy app which users don't want to use.
