Wow did I miss arguably the most important box to check, KISS?

Seriously, keep it EFFING SIMPLE. The more complex and involved it is the more things can and will break.

Does no one follow that anymore?

Sorry to burst that bubble, but KISS doesn't produce neither secure nor reliable software. Security and reliability is something you have to design for.

Software security engineers design for simplicity; it's one of the fundamental ideas of the discipline.

Easier said than done in the real world.

Maybe but I would think if you want to be taken seriously you would add it to the list.

To me it seems a little like a platitude or general development advice.
