Interesting talk. To me it demonstrates that good tips don't necessarily lead to good results. The team re-invented many tried and proven solutions (a.k.a. NIH syndrome).
My Tip 10: don't re-invent the wheel. Understand and apply best practices.
Nonetheless, I'd prefer to see more architecture- and design-oriented talks like this instead of the fluffy Agile stuff that is occupying infoq lately.

How is this NIH syndrome? They used common, well-supported standards (AtomPub, JSON, HTTP, the monitoring stuff) that are way less likely than any enterprise standard to fall out of fashion soon. I wish many companies I consulted with could buy into this philosophy, rather than looking for the silver bullety, bloated, big-bang solution du jour, like ESBs.
What kind of wheel do you think they reinvented?
