I believe most technology is being developed and sold under the guise of "betterment" and "progress"; However, very little ethical scrutiny is performed and probabably not a lot of forethought given to long term impacts.
If one looks truly, looks deeply and really asks themselves, "Is my work really having a, lasting, positive impact and making me happy", one might be suprised at the answer. Doing this can be a confronting, life altering exercise.
The author makes valid points, coding can be difficult, isolating and stressful. It's not always ping pong tables and bean bags, though it often starts out that way.
The truth is, most of the worlds major issues could be solved using some self-sacrifice and common sense, technology is not everything. Looking into the origin of your food, your pay check and your motivations can be be good start in realising that.
