This is what I read in this article. The author has a problem with people thinking that rote-learnt algorithms is the best thing ever, and proceeds to say nope a stash of the most subjective heuristics to produce 'good code' is wayyyy better. All in all the way I see it, the author is proposing to supplant a shittty misconception with a bs idea that is nice short term solution but a complete disaster in the long term which has inculcated into this idea that programming is an Art and not a discipline.
