this one of the many examples of the anti-intellectualism that is so pervasive in the software development scene. Are the inflexible, detail-prescripting methodologies he describes any good? of course not, but I haven't seen a single s

I wonder if car technicians go around making weak analogies with software development to justify their industry practices. Something like: "Why do software developers have compilers? blah blah blah, and that's why we need to keep your tools
