I think you're not the "shaman" he's referring to.
By "big brain type system shaman" I understood someone who doesn't necessarily write code, but instead, e.g. sells courses around the topic, getting people hyped about it, etc.
He uses the word "shaman" previously when talking about Agile, and there are many who fit that picture of working on selling courses, and not on developing software.
