I would say this must be satire but you seem sincere. You are promoting a thin slice of modern "best practices" which are not the only way to do software development. And it doesn't sound like you've ever worked on a major software project if you think that a month is a prohibitively long development timeframe. A mid-size architectural refactor of a large codebase can and maybe should take a month. When you get into the 200k+ SLOC range, no one person understands the entire thing, and most of us don't want to 'move fast and break things' when a little forethought, communication, and analysis can avoid it. I think this 'growth at all costs mentality' is ruining a lot more than our software, too.
