There is ALWAYS enough work to do; there are always enough projects. Most software companies are constantly failing their customers, including Google. It's just that nobody WANTS to do that work :-( Usually because, rightly or wrongly, they feel they won't be rewarded for that work. Or because they don't have the expertise to work on it, or the patience to attain it. Yegge is pointing this out, and I agree with him (although I honestly I didn't find the pitch for his new company to be particularly compelling.)
