Electronic circuits are also human artifacts, but there objectively valid principles and practices for developing those. Of course there are also opinions and subjectivity on some characteristics that generally don't matter to the actual functionality, but that seems far from where software development currently is.
There is no scientifically correct answer to what often are not objective questions, you will quickly find out that almost everyone will weigh the questions that the article asks very differently, for often legitimate reasons.
