I loved the "3.3.1 Personality" section, with 18 attributes.

You could take any five of those attributes, any five sections, cut and paste them into a blog, and it would be a nice but middling post. Five good things to be reminded of. Nice quotes.

Probably a good post for applying to lots of other jobs besides software engineering.

But a comprehensive list of 18 distinct attributes becomes more. The extremely tight intersection you get from all 18 personality constraints creates the clearest picture of a "great software engineer" that I have found yet.

Comprehensive coverage adds depth and clarity all its own. Bravo.
