I think it's excellent advice, I'm a programmer but with the idea I'm perusing I defiantly have put a lot of time into understanding our target market, how people will use the features and all kinds of business things.
I have a business cofounder which will deal with the details of it all day to day but I think that not at least knowing the overview isn't very smart in a company with size 2.
Ideally you going to want to know a decent amount of high level stuff about the code and how it all flows together, especially the abstract idea of how a web app on you chosen platform/ language works. As a company grows you can safely step away from this but in a team I find it very valuable.
