While I agree with delivering great software, I disagree with the notion of spending ages at the computer being the right kind of tool in a variety of circumstances. Often thinking stuff over well will decrease the time you have to spend coding. (And that can include thinking together with a colleague.)

I think we do not so much disagree in the essence, but just in the amount of hyperbole.

(As a snarky aside, I almost never sit at my computer. Sitting kills you. I might be able to do 12h at a standing desk, but no way I'd manage to do that sitting down. Though my eyes (and brain) will give out long before that.)
