Here you can paint for a long time the absurdity of the arguments in the above article. But in general, the whole article can be literally crossed out as follows.

Following

With the growing number of such articles, the need arose for their isolation, breaking the authors' keyboards into pieces. Just cut their hands on the part does not work, because There will be a problem of criminal prosecution. And then smart people came up with: let's isolate articles so that an interesting article is important, not how it is arranged now. Those. do not think about such articles, you have to think about good ones.

Habr

This is what is called Habr, and it is the isolation of bad articles that led, in a sense, to a revolution, because it became possible to read much more interesting articles.

Everything else is transfusion from a sieve, including quotes from well-known and respected people. The problem with Habr is that they initially thought about one thing, but then the grafomans came and changed everything for their needs, because Authors need to write not tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but today. And even better, yesterday.

What Habr has become today is the result of a misunderstanding of the goals of writing articles: fighting boredom. It so happens that the brain does not perceive all the articles and comments, we can only read a small part of them. Therefore, the fight against boredom is the driver and motivation to create new good articles. Moreover, this may be a criterion for the correctness of the choice of paradigm: how interesting are written articles.

Total

So, the main thing in writing articles is not the use of newfangled or old-fashioned practices, but fullness, meaning and interestingness.
