Yes, completely. And I don't believe it's healthy or beneficial. Developing a culture where only those who 'produce' or 'build cool shit' or 'get shit done' are valued can breed feelings of inadequecies in people who feel like they 'aren't keeping up'. This doesn't really apply to the work place, where those who produce should be valued over those who don't but outside of work, in 'real life', everything shouldn't be about how much you've done, or are doing. Sometimes, just being positive, or not doing anything harmful is good enough.
Every moment of you life shouldn't be devoted to doing stuff, unless you want it to. I find moments when I am not doing anything, or maybe watching TV, just as important to my personal development as when I am building stuff (trying in my case). It's about a holistic approach. 'Getting shit done' should be taken with moderation as should 'not getting shit done'.
