The author of that article clearly doesn't understand rebasing. They state that "the golden rule of rebasing" in the "Git rebase documentation" (actually just an Atlassian git tutorial) says that you should "never rebase on a public branch", when the tutorial they reference unambiguously states you shouldn't rebase a public branch onto your own local changes. Rebasing on public branches is the raison d'être of rebasing. The entire article seems like cope, the author deciding to bash rebase because they don't understand it.
