   My $.02, since you asked.  I can elaborate my position on the below points   
   for anyone who is interested, but in a nutshell:   
      
   - Most software development is software maintenance, not new development.   
      
   - I think organizing a software development project depends on the size of   
   the project and the size of the team.  And the budget.   
      
   - The programming as construction metaphor is both inapproriate and worn   
   out, IMHO.   
      
   - You cite the wisdom of Frank but also establish him as a wingnut.  :-)   
      
   - You make a lot of specific statements about the validity of several   
   methodologies without either backing them up or even establishing your own   
   credentials.   
      
   - I'm not sure I understand the point of the "Rebirth of the Internet"   
   article.  I see the broader use of web services as a means of utilizing the   
   business know-how, not the CPU cycles, at the other end.  I do see   
   application hosting giving way to service publishing, but I don't see this   
   resulting in an unemployment spike for ASP/PHP/Perl developers.  Perhaps I   
   am in need of clarification.   
      
   -Man, those were long-winded.
