Very useful, extensive guide. Many points apply to other fields of design as well.
Creating a tool to execute the idea means innovation. Compromising the idea to the tool leads to stagnation.
I should sit down one day with some colleagues and write a similar useful guide to bad web design.

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …
