I love Carmack and this is an interesting summary given his recent pivot into ML. That said "software is a tool" is a good frame of mind. You shouldn't position yourself as a 'coder' (those are hired en masse from poor countries) but a problem solver who uses tech. "Ideas guys" and "coders" being seperate only exist, imo, when development is viewed through the junior lens - once you progress you'll end up wearing all the hats from ideation to QA at different points.
