There's a really good book called "Code Complete" from 1993 (revised several times) that I think captures a lot of this sentiment in a more organized and illustrated way.
A lot of stuff on this list has been tribal knowledge for decades (well, except for the part about build pipelines, language choices, and Stack Overflow, etc.).
My first code mentors in the 80's & 90's said some of the same things in this list, and I passed them down to my mentees (?) as well.
