It's good advice for young people. I remember not getting my contract renewed during the dot bomb/911 and it was a soul crushing 6 months. I had to move to another city for work and took a 40% pay cut. Now that I'm pretty comfortable in my finances, it's important to take a sabbatical when you need it. Right now I'm so burned out I don't like programming, even on personal projects, so that can be pretty detrimental to my career. I decided to take a sabbatical. I gave 5.5 months notice as to not put anyone out, but I'm going to try to enjoy it. Tech is generally soul crushing these days, so pick your poison.
