Spolsky is a wanker.
High notes, low notes who cares? The test of the acceptable programmer is in the works he/she creates. And to judge that requires answering the following:
1. Does the software do what it's supposed to do?
2. Does it do what it does efficiently?
That's it.
Forget wanting to belong to the legions of hallowed programmers who use the latest/best programming languages or frameworks.
No programmer hits a low note ... unless they want to. Those are not programmers but itenerant workers just filling in for the time-being. (Which could last 30 years. :) )
