Probably preferable to calling someone a developer after a 12 week bootcamp.

Just make sure they're 22, 23 tops. Can't have any of those 30+ year olds with their early onset dementia.

Excelent list. Can you describe the "Never use the word should" a bit more in depth and give some examples?

Sometimes it's appropriate to use "should," such as "We should implement some kind of user authentication."

Other times, you'll hear someone say that their idea is the way it "should" (when they mean "must") be done, without regard to drawbacks, benefits, long term costs, or the need to treat their coworkers with respect.

"This should be done this way! Your way is just wrong." That kind of thing happens on some teams. Sometimes, they're right. The other way is just wrong. Some other times, it's jerk driven development.
