I wish "I value performance and user experience" was on there.

I'm not sure how happy you should be as a self centered developer with no empathy for the people using your software.

Sometimes software can and should be ugly if it makes for a better end product.

Full free to submit a pull request. The idea is to make sure the tools and practices make it so a developer is happy writing good, performant code with a good user experience. If the code is ugly and hard, people won't do it.
"Make a pull request" is an awful suggestion and, honestly, a cop out. Most of don't have time to tune a programming language or framework, we'll just use a better tool and move on. Slow but pretty code is a brain dead goal.
