So, the author implies in the article that he is not very experienced with logic design, and it certainly shows, but i.m.o. most egregious error is the use of EPROM.

I was involved in embedded design in the late 80s/early 90s and as soon as Flash memory became available, we switched all our product lines over within a year, even though the cost was still 10x higher. UV erasable EPROM was THAT much of a pain to deal with.

It blows my mind that the author was still using EPROM after 2000.
