I think this article is well-intentioned, but misses a few things:
-Nir Eyal is also the author of "Hooked" which is about building habit-forming products, i.e. he's an architect of the exact things that make it harder to pay attention.
When challenged about this, he typically suggests tips and tricks to use less tech, but never admits the products themselves are the problem.
-I think much of this needs to start with company culture. We need to start setting cultural values that enshrine the importance of deep work.
