I'm currently in a situation where I have such a person close to me. It was very helpful to have that pointed out again.
I've managed to work 2 hours on my startup idea this evening. Whereas I otherwise probably would've given in to the demons ("it's 20:40 already.. too late to get anything useful done, I'll just play some videogames the rest of the evening").

Yeah, I found it jarring that he took time out here to call someone he was working with at the time spineless.
I thought Alexis hit the nail squarely on the head with that paragraph actually. Helplessness really is poisonous.

I'm not sure he was referring to someone he was working with at the time.
