Re:ligatures: Unless you're programming in something like Brainfuck, ligatures are simply not going to fail because the operators that have ligatures are pretty much universal. The situation of mixing up ligatures and their respective unicode chars is also nonsense, as those characters aren't typable and will only ever be used in strings, so there's no way you'd not know which it is and it's pretty easy to check anyways. Programming ligatures provide a tangible benefit to many of us, so the author's insistence that they are a terrible idea is simply ridiculous (although, reading through some other articles on the site, not too surprising, as the site is 80% good common-sense advice and 20% poorly explained personal opinions being treated as gospel).
