I disagree, those are virtues one needs just to become a programmer. The only skill that matters in the end is velocity; these days you are required to deliver a 99.999% solution that solves some "unsolvable" computer science problem in a practical way within 3 months. Whatever helps you to get there is what you need to acquire, the rest is useless. This article seemed to me like a story from a developer that is just factually leaving being junior in practice (not in title) and observing there is a bit more complex world out there... I hope that person doesn't end up in management, enforcing their tunnel vision on everybody underneath, capping their capabilities.
