Yes, it is. The article is about activity-centered design:

DN> Activity-Centered Design (ACD) is actually very much like
DN> Human-Centered Design (HCD). Many of the best attributes of HCD
DN> carry over. 
[...]
DN> To the Human-Centered Design community, the tool should be
DN> invisible, it should not get in the way. With Activity-Centered
DN> Design, the tool is the way. 
[...]
DN> My precepts here are themselves dangerous. We dare not let the
DN> entire world of designers follow their instincts and ignore
DN> conventional wisdom: most lack the deep understanding of the
DN> activity coupled with a clear conceptual model.
