Useful information, generally good guidelines, but it very much feels like a book for managers to read, and run through the checklists when assessing those they oversee.

Generally, for a programmer, I'd say skip it. Or pick it up in a library and skim over it, and you'll get 90% of the benefit. And yeah, the whole thing could be condensed into a large blog post / small handbook and it would be immensely improved.
