I see your point, but that's a bit extreme.
The example in the article is obviously stretched, but getting feedback on your work isn't always a bad idea. Getting feedback from users, other hackers, or from business people can help you understand what your customers want. I'm not saying you should always follow their advice, but you should definitely listen and make your own decision. If you're at a small startup where you don't have business people, listen to your users instead.
