I see this post from another viewport (13- thinking outside the box!), I'll write them and paste them on my wall and write on top of them: TODO list.

Thanks for listing some, if not all, perks a game dev should have.

nice job offer :)
a year ago i would say, what the hell? why the main requirements are not technical ones about languages or algorithms or domain specific codes? now the only thing that i can say is appreciation and ask you if you found more than needed, send them to me. :)

Hmm, I think here are a few requirements (quite important ones!) that you missed buddy:

1. Being able to quote a phrase from Hagakure by heart upon suitable circumstance
2. Able to serve as a catcher when called upon (mostly in the frequent absence of Chewi!)
3. Has a documented decent batting average
4. Being able to play literally any position IF/OF
5. Has a documented decent 3pt pct.
6. Hard worker and a rebounder at heart
7. An eager learner of Zen and very familiar with triangle offense

And a few more which are better left unwritten, now THAT is a rare breed right there!

This is limited to Programming. It is generally for every work. It's a good Walkthrough but not complete.
when you are at work and trying to create a new thing you don't think about 13 principles!! I think the walkthrogh(Or every word that use in this position) must be light-weight for more efficient result or doing a work for showing this n mandatory attributes such as print it on a big paper and install it on your bench work!!!
