The SOLID principles are associated with model driven development, and that paradigm. These principles have helped me in many ways improving code, and explaining why it needs to be that way. It makes it easy for me to bring consistency to the code base and bring new people into the project. There is definitively room for new models and new paradigms when writing code, and I welcome that. The click-bait article is just that... click-bait. It silly and reminds me of the "climb that tree" quote. Consistency has always been a big deal for me. Different code-bases needs different principles, standards and models. If you are consistently wrong you can consistently fix your issues. My experience is that if you are inconsistent, you usually will end up with the dreadful spaghetti of things.
