From reading this, I get the feeling that the author has had very focused exposure to "front end" web application development. Particularly from his view on server side rendering vs. client side rendering. For one, his bullet points are hacks to support javascript heavy web applications. Something that most sites really don't need and could easily find antithetical to other goals (Search Engines anyone?).

Correct - I work primarily on the front end. The article is about creating rich interactive interfaces that perform well in the browser without sacrificing the ability to render initial pages on the server, something which (as falcolas notes) could have been made clearer.
