I want a new term - "author smell" or "article smell".
I loathe when someone or some article rants on about their silver bullet solution, or alternatively, that doing some thing is always bad.
I learned a test taking strategy early in my life - when faced with a multiple choice question, if you see "always" or "never", that answer is usually incorrect.
To come back around to this article and similar software development articles - we have many tools in our toolbox, the trick is knowing when to use (or not use) a particular tool. Never throw your tools away.
