"Putting aside the fact you're considering firing perfectly competent devs because they're not solving the halting problem for you..."

Why do you imply that he's asking his developers to do impossible things? He doesn't say that the developers are working on particularly difficult code (and the vast majority of developers aren't).

Admit to a slight use of rhetorical effect there, I completely agree the vast amount of developers aren't working on even slightly tricky code, or at least if they are it's a minor portion of their time, a good dev should be abstracting over that sort of complexity so that they don't need to think that hard in the future.
