It sounds like those businesses definitely need a programmer then, as they don't know any programming requirements. They just want work done.

It's really strange. Communication is at least on par with coding in terms of skills you need to work on anything larger than a really small self-contained application.
I suppose it may work a little if they put it into the announcement like this because the company has many fans who otherwise have no clue about the tech industry.
I was talking to my dev manager at a xmas party and he said that they'd hire a good coder who's a good team member over a excellent coder who is a poor team member.
Teams are really important because you need lots of different opinions if you want a fully complete product.

Unfortunately programming gets a bad sigma with autism/Asperger's and illnesses of that nature. It's hard to work with, no company wants that issue. Absolutely outstanding at programming or whatever task they're set with but shite at actually talking with people. (I'm being very stereotypical here but the stereotype is normally right).
