I don't have to admit anything, I think it's a complete waste of time until you're shipping something with so much value that juicing your conversion rate by 1% more is a meaningful improvement. And I don't care if the comment is tongue-in-cheek or not, even ironically this holier-than-thou style of argumentation grates like you wouldn't believe.

Help me turn my ideas into reality faster. Then you can be as snarky as you like. It's the only reason anyone tolerates DHH or anyone like him.
