Loads of people work in places where they need code monkeys and there is bunch of non coders as management who solve customer problems. Those are sad places to work for. I imagine that how it was in the '90s so all business people were there to make UML and "proxy code" that was supposed to be typed in by code monkeys. Code monkeys also would handle all those "not important technical details". But you have other type of places where one can work. Where you work with sales or business people together on solving problems. In those places it is more like described in the article. This second type of places in my opinion started winning, because you cut out middlemen who don't code. So in startups you should sell or code there is no place for middle management who rounds up code monkeys. In those places devs get some power because usually it is a company that sells software so they are not cost center but competitive advantage for company.
