Whilst I agree with a lot of the points you made I'm not sure on #3 - I don't see that as a negative when compared with the opposite ( devs who don't care or 'think like a programmer' as much as they should ).

Similarly on point 7 I get very excited about new tech ( or similarly with cool old stuff i've only just discovered ). Who needs to be paid to be passionate about what benefits new tools may bring for me or the team :)
