Depends. At least some of these lists will be created to define the scope of the good engineer so it applies to them, or habits they like, but there's nothing that actually clarifies the benefit here. Is there a measurable increase in revenue, feature releases, uptime? I've worked as a contractor for a decade. I'm brought in to deliver specific outcomes by specific timelines. There are polarizing views on what I do. Some will view me as the 10x engineer; others a bit of a cowboy. However, there's no lack of "good engineers" that aren't able to deliver working software in a timely manner, which is why I'm even at those orgs in the first place.
