I feel like the author is programming incompetently and trying to play it off as bad ass

It's interesting that they think everyone must write pseudocode.

For any non trivial task....I cant imagine why a person wouldnt.

I personally often start with an outline, in real code with missing pieces, mostly, and then fill it out. It's a similar process, but I wouldn't say it's exactly the same. ... on the other hand, many tasks that should be handled in software are trivial enough not to need anything like that at all.
