The fundamental point ("less is more") is a good point that is needlessly obscured by a layer of buzzword-talk ("10x engineer", etc.). Using the buzzword-talk makes for a nice clickbaity headline, but as a consequence, the author spends at least 30% of the article addressing and explaining things related to the buzzword of choice. Such discussion is of little substance. Ultimately, the article can be distilled to a few central tenets (e.g. "don't build anything unnecessary -- think about the human costs of maintenance"). I consider this somewhat ironic: the article, which is chiefly about avoiding cruft in production, contains a fair amount of cruft.
