I like this blog, but a lot of the "religious zealot" connotations and assertions like "Microsoft's corporate culture is built on a joint subservience to abusive pseudoscience and the evaluations of hallucination-prone artificial intelligence" in this post are breathless hyperbole. He's trying to paint a picture of conference rooms filled weekly with people doing bible studies on Hit Refresh when that's really not the case at all in my experience.
Growth mindset has problems, and he's correct that it's way too easy to make it mean anything one wants to to justify grievances or the granting of low performance ratings or whatever, but people aren't chanting it in the hallways, it's just an attempt at a concrete statement about values and behavior that's distinct from "your job is to make the company money."
