That guy's system is beyond awful. Marginally better than your dog's name backwards. Please tell me he is being satirical.
No, he's trying to get the 90% of people who use exactly the same easily hackable password on every site to do something less awful. He's giving bad suggestions about how to do that, but if you're smart you can modify his method to come up with a system for creating reasonably hard-to-crack, site-specific passwords.
The reality is, a good encrypted password manager with an unguessable master PW is still best.
