All he proved was you don't need a neural network for MicroMouse. We've known that for years. Some problems do require it. In my job experience, facial recognition can't be easily done with traditional signals processing. Stereo vision can be, but the algorithms are slow, expensive, and very error prone when compared to deep learning models.

The author is pretty much attacking a strawman he cherry picked. He took one toy example of someone learning ML and used it to attack the newest trend. Instead of taking the time to dive into the topic he's trying to discount it as less relevant. It's obvious he's stuck in the C/Unix era of programming, which has long since passed it's heyday.
