Summary is: communication is more important than writing syntactically correct programs.

No offense, but you have some trouble understanding the language. If you re-read it, it say that young programmer'S code die young, not the programmers themselves :)

no offence taken.

I agree with this: "communication is more important than writing syntactically correct programs" but article is titled: "what a programmer does" not "what is the most important in a programer job"
