Q. how can someone publish an article like that, with their name, etc...

Don't they sign NDAs? Do they not care? Are they not enforceable?

Very curious to know.

Maybe they didn’t take the severance part that makes the NDA valid? IIRC for an NDA to be enforceable there has to be a monetary consideration to it. Or maybe it’s for no competes?

Some people reach a level of DGAF where it will not matter

Some fuck-ups have such long-lasting effects that they outlast the NDAs that would cover them
