Maybe they need to raise the bar as far as article approval permissions is concerned...

See that little orange flag at the top-right of the article?
Even though the menu partially disappears off the edge of the page, you can still use it to flag the article as "unclear", or "extremely poor quality".
If enough people agree with you, the article will then disappear.

As best as I can tell from the article, the following, at the end, must be the reason you're looking for:
Having 6+ years of experience in IT Industry and having Masters Degree in Information Technology.

I agree with RyanDev that this is inappropriate for a Lounge post. You are naming and shaming an author "publicly" without even bothering to say why you think the article is unworthy.
If this article seems to you to not qualify as an article, why not post a message to "Spam and Abuse Watch," or whatever other forum(s) seem appropriate ?
Your further comments in this thread do nothing but suggest you are functioning with a racist agenda here, and I find that so unworthy of your gifted mind.

It's not spam or abuse. It's a crappy attempt at an article that was somehow approved - and it shouldn't have been.
Comments were posted in the article (where I did, in fact, tell the author why it was crap). The article has since been "removed", along with all of the comments contained therein.
Naming and shaming should not be discouraged - that's precisely what's wrong with the world today. Everyone is so concerned with everyone else's feelings that outright crap is accepted in the name of tolerance. I'm all for inclusion, but not at the expense of a reasonable measure of quality.

An extraordinary performance.
The final table reads:-
USA Zeroth
UK First
China Second

All those stupid people saying we came second - they clearly can't count.

We came first in the number of events that we took gold in.

I would request (or pay) you for typing the below 'quote' on a poster and circulate it in social networks. Some day, this will reach my super-sensible superiors eyes. Like the floating "message-in-a-bottle". Or let it reach some other similar managers & directors and free the victims from abuse.
Because the truth, it's never heard when said by the people around. They want that out from a millionaire's mouth. And they follow it happily. "Oh Bill Gates said that, Steve Jobs did that".
Okay here's the quote:
"IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANTED, EXACTLY. HOW & HOW LONG WILL NEVER BE A PROBLEM".
It's such a poor feeling when people don't know what they exactly wanted and ask us to "finish" it.
A half cooked requirement is given, on the way they understand they are building bridges to the moon, and suddenly change the direction. The dev team does all the spec update and do what they wanted to do in the mid of the development journey. The build gets done somehow.
After two weeks, in review meeting, The people who gave this half cooked requirement announces "We need to increase our efficiency". We are still not "agile", painfully looking at the dev manager/lead.
This is one of the worst feelings to go through , I tell you.
"Agile" This one word, I bet is one of the most abused words of this century.

I think if the word agile get you going you having been in business long enough. There are hundreds of bull pad management speak word they love to roll out at the drop of a hat.
You need to proactively extradite your self from the box so a collective imaginative dynamic view of the situation cane blah blah blah blah zzzzzzzzzzzz

Ah, management by (agile) hand waving.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

I've worked for a worse kind of client in the past.
They were a waterfall kind of company. Everything was to be decided before starting the project.
And because they knew what they wanted and everything was clear from the start the project could be fixed price.
Except they did not know what they wanted, the specs were not clear, and they'd change direction three times a day.
But, according to them, it wasn't so because they knew EXACTLY what they wanted 
Of course my company didn't want fixed price for the next project, but they wouldn't have it.
That they did NOT know what they wanted and that the specs were NOT clear were slanderous lies.
Everything was clear, fixed price 
After a change of management (at our company) they agreed to pay by the hour.
New management made A WHOLE LOT of money from it.
Too bad really, as the old management were my parents

Charging them extra for every letter they modify in the original requirement spec would be the right thing to do. As "regression" charge.

While I sympathize with how (I think) you are feeling, and the frustration (I think) you are experiencing, I do wonder if the very nature of the software business doesn't involve a degree of "mess," and "imprecision" because of the different roles, expectations, and agendas of companies, administrators, project managers, and ... programmers.
Whether I was working for a large company (Adobe), or working as a contractor for small to medium-sized companies, I never experienced any software project that wasn't "bent out of shape" by a mixture of:
1. the need to support legacy code, legacy UI implementations
2. naive expectations of unrealistic goals being met within the nominal time period for achievement
3. clash of personalities, and other interpersonal issue
4. organizational politics
On the other hand, I was never "burdened" by having to regularly go through some kind of process like "Agile" involving a public performance in which I might have to grit my teeth, while lying through them, because everyone was too afraid to say the obvious fact that "the Emperor had no clothes."
cheers, Bill

I thought they said it very clearly.
Seven red lines all perpendicular to each other, some in green and at least two to be transparent. Also, one of the red ones to be in the shape of a kitten.
What's the problem?
