All the criticism of the post is centered on how unconventional the advice is, and how impractical it would be for one to follow. Both criticisms are particularly evident in the missive that following the advice "would make for a bad resume". And yet, that is exactly what is being taken to task here.
The author is suggesting that you release the practical & conventional wisdom surrounding your job and how it routinizes both you and your life. The first requirement is that you throw out thinking about your resume. You reject staying somewhere you're either not happy or not growing just because it might look good on a piece of paper, or because you think you're actually going to get somewhere with it.
In another author's words:
You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your f*ing khakis.
