I got to agree with the Reddit posts quoted in the blog post. But it's not just JavaScript, it's Frontend and WebDev in general. The whole landscape is too big and moving too fast for anyone to move along and most importantly: it is very, very frustrating. Go to angel.co and just look at three or four job openings and you will end up with 50 different Frameworks, Libs and Stacks. Half of them might be dead or deprecated in 12 months. It is insane.

I'm a sysadmin supporting this shit for bespoke web applications. A new piece of semi-supported crap every six months and the business expects it to be supportable for two or three years. (We're getting better about demanding they fund a damn sprint for any nontrivial work.) Our devs are a very smart and capable bunch, but are slowly learning the Support Hangover of being the knowledgeable one on a project because you made a foolish and enthusiastic choice when the project was launched ... it's how you learn the "-ops" bit of devops. Some year webdev will grow out of the CADT model, but it won't be this year.
