I believe that this entire mentality runs counter-intuitive to the web dev/tech nature of HN in general. Many web developer professionals work at firms or agencies or other web development shops that rely on client work. I'm speaking generally here, but from my own perspective client work is never enough to fully satisfy a curious and excited mind. Enterprise projects with client services, project managers, client stakeholders, C-levels, QA departments, etc, will never be satisfying in the way that rapid prototyping, direct-to-development ideation, and general 'fooling around' can be.
This article is not only harmful to the modern workplace, but is irritating to web developers who thrive on creativity but work in environments where it's simply not feasible. I still have bills to pay, but am not defined by the desk I sit behind.
