I recognize most of these as specific antipatterns that get adopted because some manager read a blog

Go ahead. Point out the anti-pattern baggage.

There are enough coders on here from before the post-dot-com made mentors extinct that I'm sure they'd love your specificity.

One I’ll mention here is “Tasks for testing and refactoring”. “Task” is the key word - testing and refactoring isn’t a backlog item that the product manager gets to deprioritize. (haha, like the product manager even realizes they are supposed to manage the backlog). It’s part of ongoing continuous codebase improvement and done whenever and wherever it’s needed.
