Considering my project uses Jenkins and I commit on a sometimes minute basis (including code that won't build) I'd have to say committing broken code works just fine with Jenkins. Now if you're talking about pushing broken code to something like gerrit, that's another story, and that's just one of many reasons why the article is flat out wrong, because you have to rebase to squash commits into a single patch set before you can push them to something like gerrit, which then runs them by Jenkins.
