Reading through the list, it seems like the author is aiming for an audience of "people like me", which isn't really the worst thing.

I glanced through the website homepage and didn't really understand what the site was all about, but I'm also not the target audience based on those criteria, so maybe that's okay.

Yeah I thought it was a joke at first but then I saw the comments here and went back to re-evaluate. Looks more to me like it's a thought process that's laid out like code to help the author come up with ideas that solve problems and then evaluate the efficacy of those ideas based on a perceived market for it. Sort of like a checklist to run through in your mind but laid out as a coding workflow.

If you are familiar with the GTD method from David Allen, it reminds me of that a bit where "var product = new idea(getPainsIFeel());" and "innovateSolutions(painsIFeel, audiences, traitsBehaviorsValues);" is basically the equivalent of the weekly review and trigger list to generate things to do/improve. Similarly, thing like createValuableContent(), achieveProductMarketFit(), and synthesize() are analogous to the intermediary stages within GTD that drive the workflow and keep things on track to reach completion.

Thank you for introducing me to David Allen.
