I didn't see it that way. It was a bit negative but in a relaxed manner. I certainly didn't read it as a litany of misery. If you also read the comments you might find yourself laughing a bit or at least finding common patterns with your own experiences.
The reason I've said people should read stuff like this is because I see too much accent being put on the positive side of freelancing / startups and very little on the hard part.
