Yeah, the actual point is "For a long time I avoided learning programming and it turns out you do actually need that for a game programmer job." The issue was compounded by the author getting a lot of positive feedback on their game, because people respond to how the game looks, not the code. For the solo indie approach that's not really an issue (many such cases!), but getting a job is a separate beast.
