I was pretty shocked to see a programmer that delusional about XP and its influence. Then I got to the bottom and saw it was an XP snake-oil salesman writing it, not a programmer. Surprise. All 12 of those things predate XP, and most of the 12 things are situational. There is virtually never a case where following all 12 of those things makes sense. But that is exactly what XP was. It demanded you do all 12. Just saying "because some people still do some things in that list, XP mattered" when those things were being done before XP came out is absurd. "Which ones don't you do?", all of them but avoiding overtiming.
