100%. Normally these articles are thinly veiled attacks on something that has changed in the author's coding ecosystem that has angered them. When I saw hooks in the first few paragraphs I assumed it was going to be a "hooks are bad, mkay" article. It isn't, but still some what vague on actionable points or ideas. Ultimately no one likes rewriting code and is typically under-estimated since developers mentally trivialize previous work rather than a greenfield affair.
