What the author failed to mention was why any of this was bad. Yes, it's a mess. And I don't like it either. And I like carefully planning things as well, and it's a personal source of frustration working for start up companies. But it's a mistake to assume that something well crafted and (in a sense centrally) planned actually interfaces well with the market. Maybe it does, but that argument needs actually to be made. Caveat: I haven't read Raymond's book myself.
