I am not arguing about this because he is Jason Fried. I am arguing about it because this is bad advice.


You haven't made a strong case for why this is bad advice in spite of the overwhelming comments showing why this is good advice.

The arguments here that it is good advice is some mumbo jumbo handwaving that you will learn "something" because it is hard. Guess what else is hard? Trying to sell lemonade for $1000 a cup in the ghetto.
