This was the only statement in the article I disagreed with.

  This is just an opinion piece labeled "truths", but I see a few things differently than they do. 8. Kinda. Only when the new ideas impact intra-team boundaries. 8.2 - No. Formal methods will one day be mainstream. We're still learning how to agree on what constitutes the optimal syntax for software. We are getting closer, then will come the optimal forms. 10.1 - No. The Unreasonable Man Theory applies here. It's not better for software that they have to encounter nor for the industry in general (not that I agree with any of the specific paradigms mentioned). 10.2 - I see it differently. Probably because developers require evidence that their life will be easier by adopting specific behaviors. That's hard to do over long periods of time, especially when the esoteric practices are both partly codified ad-hoc choices and partly useful. See item 8. 11. No. If your interviews are over 2hours, your 'loop' is reflecting problems in your organization. When you hire an engineering manager, do they interview every single person they are going to be managing to see if they like them before taking their new job? C'mon. 12. No. Just because it's a problem doesn't mean it's solvable or needs to be solved. Laying effect at the feet of the cause is reasonable. This response is uncharacteristically unreasonable. 13. No. This has already happened (Max 737), so not even then.
