I think another issue that may be worth mentioning is that a lot of the articles in the freeCodeCamp publication are written specifically to appeal to people who are not (yet) very skilled. At least in this particular case, the combination of the red flags already mentioned by many together with the demographics of the target audience seems like a dangerous combination that promotes stigmatisation of "talents" and the idea of "if you can't become it or work with it, kill it". I may be reading between the lines a bit too much, but the article appears to be exceedingly popular by the freeCodeCamp publication standards, and that, to me, is very unsettling for a story that I think is effectively "management turned mismanagement into a heroic triumph".
