MODERATORS
Yeah, I feel like the author of this blog post read the referenced piece in a quite adversarial manner. Even if a programmer does no talking to stakeholders at all, the planning and design part of the process is still huge, and largely invisible if all you're looking at is the end result. That invisible skill and labour is the difference between a mediocre personal project of mine, and the output of a seasoned professional.
