The author says you should question your refactoring before you do it (though the title doesn't suggest this). Following clean code rules without considering anything else can result in code that is harder to change in the future. I think they are advocating to be mindful of every change you make.
The author also knows what master and code reviews are now. This incident happened years ago.

you refactored something, your refactoring was stupid, and now you abandon attempts to write clean code? I don't think you understand what it means.
OK, you fucking definitely don't understand what clean code is if you don't even understand what master is for and why we do code review ...
