Can we port the Joel Test https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2000/08/09/the-joel-test-12-steps-to-better-code to data science?

WIP:

1. Using version control individually and as a team
   
2. Style guide, linting, code review process, managing change
   
3. Projects are isolated and reproducible for other team members and in different environments
   
4. secure access to your data
   
5. what do you do when your upstream data changes, how do you know and how do you respond
   
6. Is your processing automated and do you have alerts and informants in place when an issue arises
   
7. code does not depend on you to run; protected from the bus factor
   
8. code is instrumented for baseline and performance metrics
   
9. means to rapid prototype deployments
   
10. process to securely deploy to production with no surprises
    
11. share outputs securely and snappily
    
12. manage change in deployed projects
    
13. plan for upkeep and iteration that isn’t 100% of your job
    
14. managed dependency graph for content and process for rolling changes
