Thanks for that link. I looked in both [0] [1] [2] those places and found nothing, so this is helpful. It just looks like there was a lot of noise around 4/1. Here's the best HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30023343.
The answers to such questions may indicate something, but I wouldn’t go so far as to say they ”evaluate” development maturity and craftsmanship objectively. The questions you listed are more specific than the original Joel Test from 22 years ago. TDD and CI/CD are neither universal practices nor demonstrable best practices in every case, whereas the more general “Do you use source control?” says something about the development practices.

The approach is similar to the Joel-Test where we ask companies a set of questions to evaluate their development maturity & craftsmanship:
- how they write tests
- do they use static analysis & CI/CD
- if they have dedicated testers, etc.
