Localization would be a great addition.

Asking for localization and then criticizing another region’s vernacular is… kind of hilariously ironic. Gas is short for Gasoline, which, along with Petrol, came form old names of propriety oil products. Neither is a misnomer.

This is pure gold for fresher developers, and something of which more experienced devs could use a reminder.

Every fad and every champion of every technique or framework has something to teach you, and they are often very happy to teach it to you at the wrong time. Trying to please everyone at the start of the project is tantamount to design by committee, and is a sure way to kill a project.

To a hammer, everything looks like nails.

Well written.
