IMHO the article misses the best part of the talk (in the middle somewhere). Ironically, given the "don't do it" bit.. Libin makes the point that now's a better time than ever to be an entrepreneur, and among the usual OSS/StuffsCheapNow points, he concludes that today the best product is more likely to 'win' than it has been in the past... Especially in the consumer space. Further pointing out that this essentially creates a meritocracy for people who are good at making things (even if they suck at sales/marketing).

The talk is definitely better than the flamebait title.
