Post is arguing design patterns rather than OOP vs. non-OOP.

OOP can save time, lines of code, and can abstract things out if implemented properly. I know guys that take it too far, of course, but done right, it does what I mentioned.

It sounds like the author got caught up with folks (like I did a couple decades ago) that over-architected software rather than focusing on building.
