Thanks for pointing this out.

Just a few paragraphs into the article, I was thinking the author had done a spectacularly bad job of picking an adviser (or supervisor). In my experience, "meaningful intermediate goals" and feedback are the reason for having an adviser.

Not to say that all advisers are very good at providing goals and feedback, though.
