He does not mention that "linear" code are much more grep-able than fancy pancy code. Even such simple things as error messages as string literals in the code makes your life so much easier. A degenerate case of grep-able code is e.g. virtual methods for some class and derived types that share name with methods of another class and derived types. I also distastes code with so much dynamicness that you have no clue where stuff happens. I really like long functions that do many things one thing after another.
