I've got mixed feelings about this article. Sure, I hate the idea to be force to meet unrealistic deadlines, but that doesn't come from Agile. It is a condition imposed by markets. Sure, in the long term, good quality code, whatever that is, trumps anything else. But that analysis doesn't account for the fact that those that don't fare well at the beginning...perish! As in "we'll do it slower than the competition, but in two years they're going to be in a spaghetti code nightmare". Possibly, but YOU WILL BE GONE.
