Posted Aug 18, clarifying in a follow-up that it's "probably more than half to be honest," paired with an argument that implementation is getting cheaper and the durable skill is understanding one layer above and below your work. Coming from someone whose brand was built on deep IDE-and-testing craft, that's a real concession about where the leverage sits now. I'm skeptical this generalizes to every kind of work, but it's a data point I didn't expect from him.
