How about hell no? I'm curious who this author is, a lobbyist for Uber?
How about a Guaranteed Minimum Income for every American, which will do far more to address poverty as well as raise wages (if you're already receiving money, you'll be able to demand a higher wage for working a job).
Screw welfare, and its tenuous political existence. Support everyone and the government doesn't need to invent more regulations and punish poor people.

I agree that rather than looking for work as a web developer, you might focus on building really useful components and libraries on GitHub, or just staring by forking projects there and making improvements or fixes.
I understand your desire to get paid work, but really building your skills and making things that people find useful is a great proving ground.
