I think you're correct here that "micromanagement" in the article is a poor word choice. It's unfortunate that so much writing (especially prescriptive writing) uses inaccurate terminology for the sake of effect. It's usually to the detriment of readers/listeners being able to soak in the wisdom that's there, as they get tripped up by the poor wording. For example, I can 100% get behind the "Engineer" level advice for the "Micromanagement" section. (Namely, have a high bar of excellence, for example when reviewing others' code.) But as you point out, this isn't really micromanagement.
