While I get the thrust of the manifesto, anyone who could with a straight face check off every last one of those is well on their way to at least a "3x", in value for the company if not pure engineering talent. It would be nice to live in a world where that is just baseline professional behavior, but it really isn't. And in the defense of the people who may trouble maintaining that level of behavior, that's really a pretty high bar to meet for a human being. Trim that thing down to maybe 4 or 5 things and we could perhaps call that a 1x baseline.
