Not at all, I'm just wary of reinforcing gender stereotypes.
Even in the conclusion quoted here, the author says "I think it's quite a compliment". As if when you first hear the term "girl code", you're supposed to think "ew", and the author is there to convince you otherwise.
Why not just call it neat or organised instead? Using a gendered term does nothing but appeal to stereotypes and solidify them.
