I think it has a so what problem. It sounds nice but then so...? I failed to understand what exactly the author wanted to convince people to do. Expectations - for who? Let's say someone does exactly this, then failed to actually ship something that people want then it's as useless as not knowing the list at all.

> I failed to understand what exactly the author wanted to convince people to do.

He’s writing a list as part of his imaginary shower argument with his boss and coworkers as to why they are all inferior and he’s perfect and why all the problems they are facing are easily attributed to his list of 50 points of things he feels he does that they are failing to live up to.

At least that’s my take away.

If he's arguing with his boss in the shower, that may indicate he's a bad communicator.
If he’s arguing with his boss in the shower he’s probably going to be fired for inappropriate behaviour.
Or one of them is just bad at managing expectations.
Oh good. I had a feeling it was that and didn't bother reading it.

Mind that this instinct was born from prior experience with my own imaginary shower arguments.
