As a designer, if I was given a resume that looked what was described in the article I'd Mark them down a point. Knowing your audience and the appropriate time and place is an important part of design.

If they send their resume somewhere that likes that, then good for them.

Yeah knowing the audience is key. But an eye catching resume can also be very valuable.

In this field a design with something like familiar grey/white fixed-width type on a matte black background, ascii table outlines, and “syntax” highlighting, etc, etc, would probably get some more attention (good or bad)
