Agreed. Although the post makes several good points, there isn't really a key insight there. The author fails to convincingly boil it all down to a single concept of "truth". Rather, it feels the term is just stretched this way and that to try and pull together separate ideas: "That means brevity. As Seneca said, “Truth hates delay.”" "An unnecessary global variable is not just an invitation to "bugs; if it’s overexposed, it’s lying" "If it’s a playlist, call it a playlist. Don’t call it a set. Tell the truth." The connection here is shallow: the author has merely found a way to work truth into each description. Maybe it's better to just accept that there are multiple axes of goodness (which further makes us realise sometimes they are in conflict).
