I disagree with his point about '"interesting" technical problems' not being a perk. He describes working on 40+ different jobs which were all about the same in terms of technical interestingness, and says that the majority of business applications are boring CRUD apps/"a giant ball of TPS reports". This isn't an argument against working on technically interesting problems being a perk -- it just means that he hasn't ever worked on technically interesting problems. If his point is that most job ads are lying about whether the work is technically interesting, fair enough. I have no idea whether or not that's true. But his point as stated, that technically interesting work is not a perk that developers care about, is just wrong in my experience. Not all jobs are doing tedious CRUD work, and that is a legitimate perk.
