Nice article, but in my opinion a bit too much focused on DBA's. There are other people who use SQL Server Agent too
For example, scheduling the entire ETL flow to populate a data warehouse through SSIS packages.
But it looks like a good start of a great staircase...

This is probably what we will do when they are completed. So once we get all the SQL Agent articles, it will probably be a mini book

Many authors (books) wrote about how to set up SQL Server agent and jobs. Many forgot to mention setting up the "clean up" part which is equally important. There is also a SP "sp_purge_jobhistory" you can use.
Nice summary article, like a BOL style documentation. Thanks for taking time to write (revisit) this topic. (maybe the 30th times on the web)

While mentioning the options for the service account that sql agent runs under, it bears mentioning that it is strongly recommended to use a named account in the domain to run the service. While the network services account has some limited network privileges, it is impossible to assign explicit permissions to the Network Services internal account. So if you do need to run ETL pulling data from a fileshare, or do anything that involves touching a networked resource, you will probably hit a brick wall with the Network Services account.
