Steve is big on "getting out of the building". I agree the story seems more focused around the asshole CEO but if you read 4 steps to the epiphany or do his online course, How to build a startup (it is free on udacity and actually taught by Steve: https://www.udacity.com/course/how-to-build-a-startup--ep245 VERY good course) you'll see that "getting out of the building" is a concept he mentions a lot.
I really would suggest you look at Steve Blank's work.
You can take his online course (for free I believe) at:

I am very impressed with this blog post. Very succinctly put together. Thanks for sharing. For further reading, I highly recommend Steve Blank's (Seasoned Silicon Valley entrepreneur + Prof. of entrepreneurship at Stanford Univ.) "How to Build a Startup" free class at Udacity. Here's a link to class: https://www.udacity.com/course/ep245
Building a startup is different than building a web app. It's sad to see that the instructors are not aware of the massive difference between the two.
Building a startup course should have no technical details. I'd recommend Udacity "How to build a startup" course any time and even for small businesses.
