As you scroll down, it gets worse.

"Bonus: Legacy Outdated Python Usage Warning Signs" was a helpful list of things to look at, but I disagree with many as best practices. I like when code from the year 2000 still works, and you do that by using standard packages.

The chase for the latest / greatest means bitrot and is the sign of a junior developer. You save a bit of time in the short term, but a new latest / greatest comes out a few years later.

The conclusion is a bit weird too. That kind of rant is what leads to no-hire decisions. Be careful what you put online.
