TLDR: Humans make mistakes, use better tools/languages that prevent this, since discipline can't enforced.

Wasted few minutes reading this blog post.

Not wasted.

That is important point for arguing with people who say things like 'ORMs are bad I can write my SQL queries', 'Angular is bad I have my perfect approach for vanilla js'. When such person will have to explain their 'perfect' approach to 10 developers and then such person will have to keep doing code reviews so that approach is still used by those 10 developers it will be an eye opener
