I don't know who Yegge meant, but my read on that passage (as a Googler) is that he was talking about Craig Silverstein. Several of those items are definitely attributable to Craig.

Agreed. Craig never exerted much technical influence (beyond the early years, I assume), but was always a strong cultural force in the areas of engineering quality, code reviews, readability, consistency, etc.
