I think the author misused the word "software development craftsmanship". Or he/she is not talking about THE software development craftsmanship as http://manifesto.softwarecraftsmanship.org/

From my understanding, craftsman ship is not about algorithms at all, at least not the focus.

Agree. Depends on your domain. But for web development as I am working on right now, it is never relevant. Fundamental for me is, testing, oop design, distributed systems design.
