where did i say that I've been solely leaning hard on programming and not focusing on the people skill?

But the industry is full of people with technical acumen but little in the way of people skills or a knack for business needs; and in the supposedly halcyon days of the past many of them could grow rich, or at least popular, by developing something cool.
