I can try. I think the author is saying that developers should go beyond "implementing the solution." Take time to understand the real problem at hand. Explain what you're trying to do, even if it doesn't work out. Push back when you're being asked for things that aren't realistic. This is basic, solid advice for anyone. It's also shares the same goals with most software engineering methods or meta-technologies: Scrum, BDD, user stories, etc.
