Also we should keep in mind that very few software developers are playing the PGA tour( working on rare problems). Most people are playing in local tournaments ( easy enough projects where the skill required is fairly low). And they need to do that every day of the year. In those environments the technical skills seem less important.

This is so true. There is so much focus on social skills nowadays, I see it taking over someone with technical skills. It’s a double edge sword in my opinion. You have a bunch of agreeable software developers that cannot code outside their frameworks.
