I totally disagree with this post as well. I agree that decoupling the backend API from the front-end makes sense from a maintenance perspective but that's all I agree with in this article. I'd assume this is the default behavior for most developers.
However there's no way that I'm going to build something so crappy that I want to toss the entire thing out. I've decided to completely reprogram a system after realizing the first approach was the wrong way to do things, but that's different than deciding to toss your first product out the door from the get go. I gotta agree with smilliken, you're going to write bad code if you know it's going to be thrown out the window.
