This article seems half-great and half-lame. A couple of great aspects are distinguishing between productivity vs. value, and recognizing the "flow" aspect to creative work. A couple of the lame aspects are thinking that every team must be supportive (the teams where we have created world-changing software were almost devoid of social skills) and thinking that defensive barriers are inappropriate in this "winner takes all" business environment with its associated values. In short, I hope never to work for the fellow who wrote this article - he seems to be trying to mold developers to fit into his somewhat arbitrary value system.
