I meant it semi-sarcastically but you don't seem to disagree? It doesn't seem to me like "soft skills" are particularly in need to be valued more than they currently are. I would argue that the opposite is often true -- perfectly good developers being undervalued because they aren't assertive enough to "sell themselves".
