This is a really stupid article, painfully trying to find a connection between 2 activities in an attempt to sound insightful. Just climb, and don't try to pretend you are a monk finding divine insight in unlikely places. And also, if you're writing design documents for trivial features, I'm glad I don't work at your company.

I've been a gym climber for about ten years, never felt any urge to take it outdoors. Great community, very easy to get into, addictive as hell. In fact, my local bouldering gym has a co-working space, I set up with my laptop and jam out in javascript all day, with periodic breaks for climbing. It's great. One of the gyms around here even has a weekly "startup night." Personally, I'm partial to bouldering, where the…
Wow, that sounds like the perfect set up, yet I've never heard of anything like it. Where is this place?

Having never been rock climbing before - how hard is it actually to get into? I suppose it really depends on where you live (the author mentioned using climbing to get out of the gym, but I think that's the only place I ~could~)

I know of a great one in Boulder and another in Denver. ;) Also the top rope gyms often times have sections like this around here, in my experience as a novice it can be hard to find problems(routes) that are easy enough for me to solve.

You can start in the gym. As you make friends with other gym climbers, you can tag along with them for outdoor climbing trips. I started with just a harness, shoes, and a gym membership. When I started climbing outdoors more often, I bought more gear gradually, and gradually learned more techniques from other climbers. Then I was able to take new people out, climb internationally, etc.
Outdoor climbing is more dangerous than gym climbing, and requires more knowledge. Not everyone starts climbing in the gym, but you'll want to go with a more experienced climber your first few times outside either way.
