Based on the subject I thought this would go in a different direction: document well, take the simple approach where possible instead of the most clever one, modularize well, etc.
I think the author did a good job of challenging my assumptions going in at least, which is nice.
My initial reaction was that it was a list of fairly complex things, but they are not necessarily complex to implement, even if people commonly over-complicate a couple of those things or make them a pain for other developers to setup, which seems to be part of the point.
