Thank you for posting this. I read several more. I especially found this 
interesting:

http://michaelochurch.wordpress.com/2012/08/26/xwp-vs-jap/

in which he concludes that one route to becoming a good programmer is to 
not be a programmer. It seems that being a 'statistician who programs' 
was a better gig, comparitively speaking, than I realized at the time.

Another way to work on high level projects is to volunteer on an open 
source project.
