I think it's very different when you're one-man-show vs a cogwheel in organisation. In former case, just like the author mentioned, your struggle is more with yourself. You need to make yourself move forward. And "Just ship it" approach gives you that - you get external push to carry on. External user(s), external comments and demands give you that bit of energy to carry on.

In corporation setup, you always have a manager and peers that push you. You have periodic meetings with team/manager whatever to show what you have done, and then, depending on company setup, it's quality vs speed discussion. But that's very different from being all alone with your code and computer trying to build something from the grou up.
