I thought this article was funny. They should've called it "Get some balls and try these things" instead, but, ya know... tomato/tomato.
Here's my stream of consciousness replies in my head...
5 & 6 = cool
8 = ouch?!
9 = hell yeah lol
11 = come on... we need goals, this is bs.
14 = haha, nice
15 = woot
19 = yes & no, sometimes the dev is not the only one using it!

Yeah, this was pretty entertaining actually. =)
It does bring to light some of the more ridiculous aspects of agile/scrum, which some can be used for team moral if that is a problem, but others I can see where some PMs might stick to some of these things even under resistance instead of being 'agile' enough to change process for the team's benefit.
As a dev, I've been on a few projects myself where we simply ridicule the PM because of inflexibility and sometimes trying to fix things that ain't broke. I think that might be where some of this bitterness and irony end up stemming from.
