I have no way of knowing if he's a villain or not, but this article sure makes it sound like he must either be that or dangerously deluded.

  Which part is deluded? I don't really see it.

    That part where he doesn't see how he materially contributed to seriously harming people.

      > he materially contributed to seriously harming people. There are 2 points: 1. Umm he wasn't an exec who had any power to decide whether to lay off somebody or not. He built some prototypes and launched 1-2 improved UI. Was improving a website harming people? 2. Laying off unnecessary workforce isn't a net harmful to the society. Are you saying we should never ever fire or stop hiring anybody ever? Have you ever stop hiring someone in your life? A house cleaner. A babysitter? Stop going to a restaurant? Did you harm them when you stop paying for their services?
