For the most part it's good, but impractical, advice, unless you have "my dad owns the company" type job security. "Let it crash" is correct, but your (non technical) boss is counting how many times it crashes and putting the people with the most crashes up for the next round of "regrettable" layoffs. Even people with advanced degrees and decades of experience are just barely hanging on by a thread in this (deliberately) hyper-competitive economy: your goal is to make the best software you can make while surviving as best you can.
