Very interesting exploration on software engineering "facts" and what we can really do to increase quality. Unsurprisingly caring for the people seems to be the top factor.

AST tooling is great for porting code and code quality checks. Here are a couple of examples in python.

Overall good piece about how to make quality software. That being said the whole section about "Hire the Best Engineers You Can" should be read with caution... it clearly starts from the "10x coder" fallacy, it's not true and suddenly completely ignores the project context.
