I would fault some of the points listed, like "Embrace Unit Testing", to a failure of Software Engineering as a discipline.
Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Doctors, etc. all have bodies of knowledge.
We, as an industry and discipline, have no real body of knowledge. Do Doctors have the ability to make up procedure on the operating table?
Why is it, then, that we don't have standard practices, like unit testing, and help get these pushed into the educational system? Should students even be learning how to write code without unit tests? Without a backlog (if that is what industry agrees to)? Without an understanding of systems? And so on.
