This is a great list and a great summary. Steve Ramsey was a huge help for me starting out.

Great list at the bottom, too. Some others I recommend:

Jonathan Katz-Moses (good testing and teaching)
WoodWorkWeb (approachable, similar in some ways to Steve Ramsey).

For sure. I think it violates Grice's maxim of quantity - I've never seen a legitimate job posting where they felt the need to tell me how legal the job is. That call-out being in there is decidedly worrisome haha.

An entertaining video on the maxims from Tom Scott: https://youtu.be/IJEaMtNN_dM?si=GxmkO8Is3B9EaibZ
