Single best tip: The AGE of the eggs is critical to peel-ability. If you prefer boiled eggs, buy ones closer to “best by” date. it makes a huge difference!
Agree to boil the water first. Don’t try to gradually heat egg and water. Will suck.
Sous vide is also a great way to dial in your perfect temp/goey-ness (or not) if you have some time to experiment to find that.
Also, baking soda in the water helps, so I agree with the article on that. Personally 11-13 minutes is much too dry IMHO. I’m a 7-8 minute egg guy.
