This is a tedious, meandering, almost self-contradictory article.

To me people calling their code or software “Clean”, “Easy”, or “Simple” has always felt wrong. You aren’t entitled to declare your own creation to have some subjective trait you strived for when writing it.

Follows:

The more objective you assume you are, the more easily manipulated you can be by subjectivity, be it your own subjectivity or others.

I'm happy to go on record stating the former is more forgivable than a lazy false truism or platitude.
