I won’t summarize it here, but it’s worth a read if you like to feel very in control of your egg cooking outcomes.
That's a good article. I won't try to fully summarize either, but I'll mention two key differences from the method suggested above:
1) Kenji says to start with eggs cold.
2) Kenji says that baking soda doesn't make a difference.
Both articles agree that the water should be boiling when the eggs are put in, and that shocking them to cool helps.
Interesting that he seems less hardline on what to do here than in The Food Lab.
Personally I do the steamer pot method. It's way easier.
