Lots of people in the comments here stuck on the boring semantic definition debate of mocks vs stubs vs nulls vs whatever.
This is not really by what the article is about IMHO. It’s a great overview of how to grow and organize your application with some opinionated patterns that give some favorable properties to your system. The nullable stuff just helps achieve those properties. If you want to use a mocking library to write nullables, and call them mocks, fine. Not important.
