This is one of a whole genre of HN-boosted blog posts that are basically saying to engineers: "you can't just write code, you actually have to do sales also". People who don't like sales think that they can go to a big company and just do engineering work. Nope, it doesn't work that way: you still have to promote your work, you still have to sell your work, you still have to talk to your customers, you still have to understand business, you still have to make deals, etc etc.
