I thought that it was a good article - postdocs who don’t go to awesome labs like yours often struggle with finding independence and some PIs don’t really their their postdocs best interests in mind. As you said, and mentioned here, doing your homework before joining is key.
Totally and completely agree on the necessity of gaining independence (for lack of characters, I lump that in under 'success'). However, the article makes it sound as if you can only gain independence if "you work entirely on your own ideas/projects".
I don't believe that is true - there are many other ways of gaining independence without this exclusivity. The main issue here is that the need for a PI to obtain grants means that she/he can't have a lab of postdocs working entirely on their own projects - doesn't work.
BUT - and this is important - it is totally possible to work on projects that are (1) within the scope of the lab and the grants supporting that lab, and (2) allows you to gain all the necessary experience and independence needed to be successful in your future career.
Also true, though getting to follow your own ideas is a big part of it. If not it’s hard for future employers to know if you can develop projects on your own. Freedom within the framework of the lab is important (and what you give your postdocs 
).
Yup, totally - my other reply wasn't fast enough ;-).
