Hey, one of the authors here. While there is some prior art we (me and gravyboat, the other author) felt that this is an improvement upon what's out there, especially the part where it's collaborative with the community as a GitHub repo. With HN hosting the monthly "Who is hiring" threads we'd like to see more companies be more open about these things and realize that quality of life for people in the technical line of work isn't just about what perks the company provides, but also about how painless it is to be an individual contributor.

It's a cliche that we all want to change the world, but there's a bit of truth in it. If as an employee I have to fight against your ancient development environment and painful deployment model to get my code changes into production while being chained to a desk, I probably don't want to work at your company.

If I would have known to have asked these questions I might not have had some of the jobs I've held. My hope is that by sharing some of that experience the junior people can avoid trial by fire in less than optimal work environments by asking the right questions, and that table stakes for companies to attract talent will be to have great answers to these questions.
