  That article makes my point exactly. It basically says 'spell out every detail and make sure the programmer doesn't have to think about the bigger picture, and can focus purely on the coding'. For example, from the article, "Leave off all details that the programmer doesn't need to know.", "Write a detailed walk-through of every click.", "In a text file, write down every thing you know this Version 1.0 needs to do. Every click. Every action. A long list of small simple things.", ... From the post I take it that is is exactly what Arrington didn't want to do any more. The article you linked to basically says 'to make your idea a success, you treat the programmer in detail, and let him focus solely on the technical aspects of the software.'.
