&quot;The best programmers&quot; aren&#x27;t all fixing bugs in iOS apps. The blog post perfectly outlined people who are motivated by other things. I don&#x27;t want to work at a company where &quot;realistic&quot; work is me working alone on doing assigned tasks.<p>I identify with the &quot;product engineer&quot; concept they outlined, I want to talk UX and user testing in an interview not prove I can understand someone else&#x27;s code base. Honestly many companies will get far more value of a programmer who has user sympathy and writes user-friendly applications than one who writes a fully tested, bug free and technically sexy app which users don&#x27;t want to use.
