Amazing post, thanks for putting this together.

Three points I think are undervalued in my experience:

> Typing can be the bottleneck

> The most important trait in developers: rolling up their sleeves because it has to get done

> Nothing really matters, except bringing value to the customer

I often feel the code needed to deliver value is not that complex and most senior folks can do it, but in an effort to "save time" on typing, they try to design something complex and debate endlessly, when what's really needed is rolling up your sleeves, getting it done, then saying "oh that? I finished coding it and it works, let's ship it already"

I think the author was being a tiny bit hyperbolic saying "nothing really matters but value for the customer". In a restaurant kitchen, the goal is to get food into the customer's mouth... but you still want to keep your knives clean and tidy. Of course, keeping them tidy isn't the point of the restaurant either.
