Of course it's not specific to developers, but this was written about development processes by a developer. I also think that this is particular pertinent to development, where technical debt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_debt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_debt) can quickly spiral out of control. Too often, I've worked on projects where the approach of 'just get it done, and automate it another day' has lead to one compromise and quick fix being piled onto of another. The effort to automate early is just incredibly valuable and worth shouting about in my opinion.
