This reminded me of a slide from a Dan North talk - perhaps this one https://dannorth.net/talks/#software-faster? One of those anyway.

The key quote was something like "You want your software to be like surgery - as little of it as possible to fix your problem".

Anyway, it doesn't seem like this blog post is following that vibe.

I like this quote.

Unfortunately, my predecessor at work followed a different principle - "copy paste a whole file if it saves you 5 minutes today".

Well, I am still a surgeon, I just do a lot of amputations.
