I have to say it, the author is probably great at programming, but poor at writing.
Reads more like a rant, diary with random analogies.
Too much noise in explaining their experiences and forethoughts which aren’t really helpful to the reader.
Perspective can be explained in one sentence and then move on to core pieces.
Apologies but get to the point.

On Bad Advice
The programmer who wrote the post is cautioning other programmers about the dangers of taking advice from online sources without considering the context and details of their specific situation. They explain that much of the advice they have received over the years has been actively harmful to their programming abilities. They suggest that programming practices are mostly tacit knowledge, which is difficult to share and can vary depending on specific situations. The post argues that it is essential to consider the context and details of one's specific situation when seeking programming advice and not to rely too heavily on generalized advice.
