I disagree with some of tips given in this article (for example, Session 0 is a waste of time), but in general it provides good information and useful links.
I disagree with your disagreement. Sure, if you already know your party and everyone is experienced, you can skip it, but if you start as a new player group, it is well invested time, that should be used to get to know each other and lineup expectatios.
I'm with you. Zero session is value added even with an experienced group. We've been playing with the we group for a while and whenever we do a new campaign or new DM we end up using a zero session to reset expectations & make sure everyone's still on the same page with the upcoming campaign.
