They should really have used an example like John Smith who made it to Level 6 SWE at Google instead of Level 4, because he kept his passion for low level coding (even though everyone was say "do web programming") or something. But that would be too prosaic I guess!
I would expect more people to say to focus on writing docs and finding others to implement them than focusing on web programming.
