Some of these seem rather advanced so it doesn't seem like it's in the spirit of the Joel Test? He didn't ask if you had a good source control system or a good bug database, just whether you had one at all. He didn't ask how long your build takes, just whether you had one.

We’ve got higher standards now! (Except for the quiet working environment. We seem to have failed that test, succeeded accidentally (on average) in 2020, and are regressing quick as we can.)

Maybe the first question should be: do your programmers routinely submit patches that they wrote by prompting an AI, without needing manual edits? Many do, but if they say no, it doesn't usually happen for *reasons*, that would tell you something. 1/
