Re: Point #7 - There is an increasing number of women in our industry. I think we should try to steer clear of saying things like "the next guy" as it's not very inclusive. Especially as women find it very difficult to progress in our industry, using the word 'guy' suggests that progression is only for men. Of course you may accuse me of reading too much into it, but i'm not in the affected minority and in the interest of a healthy inclusive community, it would be easy to change the word "guy" to "developer"
