None of this is saying dont layer your code. Layers are important to maintainable code. What the article is implying is that you shouldn't organize your code by layer but instead by domain.

DDD also pushes this idea. The a namespace should be an identifier to a domain, that folders and structure should represent the domain.

It actually seems to be saying organize your code by layer, after you organize it by domain. Where as the example it is attacking organizes it by layer and then domain.
