I'd not advice this for people that loves their comfort zone nor those who have a hard time unlearning things. For the rest, it might be their hope. If you can be hyperproductive you can do it. But you can't be that productive if the technology you use doesn't help you to achieve that by design. In my case I've validated the product's idea with a prototype in ~15 days, then started to develop the product. Now, it's in full commercial operations since last august. Here I've wrote a little about the technology I've chosen: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3467308 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3467308

I'm glad you brought this up. It can be unhelpful/damaging to tell someone "this is the way." It could cause cognitive dissonance, confusion, and conflict for many between one's own previous experiences of what they are currently capable with and what is being stated they are required to do to be successful. I go through this very often. The latest being the push that's going to around, mainly that VCs and incubators perpetuated, that you need to find technical co-founders. This mainstream idea is promoted because it reduces the risk for those who will profit/benefit from reduced risk in their investments. Likewise, people who are, as you call them, hyperproductive, will probably have more successes from having more experiences and also be the personality to be vocal of their methods and will have more experience and success to be vocal about.
