Someone didn't read the article. She addresses exactly this.

I can already hear the trolls making jokes about women being concerned about breaking a nail. If it’s so inconvenient, why not just have short nails? Well, I’m not out here wearing long nails for fun. Being a reviewer often means acting as a part-time hand model for whatever gadget I’m testing. The Internet Nail Police has repeatedly shown up in my comments over the years if my polish is chipped or, god forbid, there’s a smudge of dirt under my natural nail.

I read the article. It still is the better solution.

You can't have a solution if you ignore half of the problem statement. It's completely unhelpful.

Problem: I want to be able to type better while having long nails.

Your solution: Don't have long nails.

Sometimes, project requirements are shitty from the start. This one definitely is.
