It blows my mind how these posts seem like everyone is victim of a collective amnesia.

Literally every single point in the article was good engineering practice way before AI. So it's either amnesia or simple ignorance.

In particular, "No coding before 10am" is worded a bit awkward, as it simply means "think before you write code", which... Does it need an article for saying it?

Not for nothing but The Art of War includes really insightful quotes like "If you do not feed your soldiers, they will die."

Good point. To clarify my stance: what I meant is that the narrative of the article is the following: AI made us change the playbook and so now, because of AI, the playbook is this one. Which is like saying that Sun Tzu wrote the cited line of the Art of War in a second edition, whereas his first version was "completely different".
