A founder of a company that did everything they can to make the company viable has a lot more skills than programming. I would say after that long stint as a founder, programming will be the least valuable skill they would bring to the table. In that sense, looking for a programming job is the wrong approach. The author doesn't mention why they chose that line. If they are really only interested in going back to programming it's fine, if not it's a wrong decision IMO.
