I think a lot of people are missing the point of the article. It's not anti-feature. It's against building features that have no measurable impact to the real goals of any business: better product for the customer AND therefore more revenue.

The problem with the Pyramids analogy is that the Pyramid was the goal. In software companies, features aren't the goal. Better products for customers are. The right features are the means to the end, everything else is a waste of time and an illusion of progress.
