I find these kinds of articles ultimately unhelpful. I do agree with the overall message, but with the lack of practical examples, all I came away with is a description of the problem we're all too familiar with already (software design is hard, simplicity is desirable) but no answers to how to achieve that in the real world. "Don't use recursion to solve a problem easily solved by a for-loop, except when recursion is the right tool for the job." You're not wrong. Just not terribly useful advice when fighting against real complexity in systems.
