Section 4.6 is certainly ridiculous, but I suppose you can just ignore it.

From that section, I really like:

>"Avoid superlatives in job titles and descriptions, especially problematic terms such as "guru", "ninja", "rockstar", or "evangelist"."

At a past job, it was actually embarrassing to introduce some of my colleagues in meetings as shit like "Data Guru" and "Marketing Guru".

(I'm sure we can skip the 100,000th argument about the rest of the section).

Love seeing that section, hate people who unironically call themselves one of those phrases. I used to know one guy who integrated his karate hobby into his personality as an agile consultant... it was kinda embarrassing.
