As much as I love and identify with these rants (keep 'em coming!), I think as much damage is done by trying to think long term (and guessing wrong) as by focusing on short term. In the abstract, I agree with the author in general that there's too much short-term thinking in software development, but in my experience, the cure is usually worse than the disease.
