I have also been in the industry for 20 years, I get where he is coming from, I also "failed" interviews at GOOG and AMZN for the reason he explained, but I'm not bitter, in fact I feel guilt if anything for how easy my life has been as far as work goes.
Being the guy that actually understands the infrastructure means you never get fired because they know they really need you from time to time.
