The majority of this article is written in a dogmatic way. I'll provide one example:

False teachers will tell you to rename things, reduce the length of your functions to some arbitrary number like "25 lines" because someone told them sometime that functions need to be small and only about one thing.

It doesn't really tell us how we know its arbitrary. Just states that if said refactoring actions are being asked of you it implies they must be arbitrary or the mentor/teacher/coach is simply enforcing information out of their own personal comforts and habits instead of well-reasoned teaching methodologies.

Also lastly Snowboarding != Programming.
