Bullshit -- plenty of people, especially technical folks or individuals working in IT more generally -- still haven't learned the lessons of hard work and problem solving + prioritization of tasks under pressure. Even if it's treacly, it's still worth hearing the same thing for the millionth time. I can tell you, for one, that I'll reshare this link in a place where my team might see it (especially for the benefit of the remote teams in Mexico, Brazil, and India, where programmers tend to come from upper-middle/upper class families anyway and may never have held a manual labor position in their lives).
