We've been stuck in this for at least a decade now. That is what I am referring to with "I am not satisfied with the status quo of the discussion". The author of this specific article doesn't even seem to consider that there may be non-technical factors at play that cannot be fixed by coming up with (yet) a better language. It's the same over and over again, unfortunately.

Well yes, I agree, I would like to brainstorm potential solutions to the issues at hand, too.

The discussion never resolves, and will never resolve, because the participants aren't the same people - there's literally a constant influx of new, inexperienced developers facing the same issues in a slightly new context (and hence using new language to describe it). For another example, just go to Reddit's front page. It's the same trendy questions from young people a decade earlier as well. You'll know an online community is on the path to dissolution when it can 'resolve' problems for good. The same applies to HN: I'm sure my point has been made many times before, and will be made many times again here.
