I think the author was talking more about rockstar/genius developers with many years under their belt than simple "good" or even "great" developers. I also think the author fails to realise that a lot of what he recommends isn't easy to come by. Don't get me wrong, it all makes a lot of sense; every word. However I agree more with antoko in that perhaps the focus sometimes needs to be on increasing developer confidence. After all, we can't all be rockstars can we?
