The text above is just like the blog post: is unfounded and purely based on personal opinions.
Having a strong test culture in a company of any size is important for a number of reasons, and all of them are founded by both books and articles, but also by AMAZING products.
An engineer who has talent in writing readable and well structured tests is also someone who has a special skill in: creating robust systems, reverse-engineering existing systems and therefore good at being hired by a startup that has NO or very little test culture, which end up being hired by a company that has code that is buggy, error prone, coupled and hard to maintain, so that he can apply all this knowledge to clear crap written by people who doesn't like tests
