Great read. Reminds me of "Coders at work", but more on the business side of things. We all talk about this stuff, but not many people are bold enough to write it all down and stick it on a webpage or in a book. I'm most impressed by just how much work ends up flushed down the toilet. Makes me feel so much better about all the dead-ends I have been involved with. Actually my sense of the industry is that the majority of projects tank for one reason or another. I guess that's fine if you are just doing it for the money, but if so, then you are probably not a top-level dev.
