These are good guidelines for spotting any kind of bias in media. I get that this is targetted at engineers, but aside from the tech-specific examples this advice applies to all kinds of content/reporting, and I wish it were taken more seriously in digital literacy curriculum (in the US anyway).

That's a great point, I'll make it clear in the intro that it is for both.

I wrote it initially for engineers, but then kept finding examples in other fields.

For engineers, you can read part 3 in my MongoDB series ("The Marketing Behind MongoDB") to see a common playbook at dev tool companies specifically:
