I think there's also a sort of a tension with this approach of little tasks with little trust and the complexities of modern code. Many small tasks involve a pretty in-depth understanding of a large stack to do correctly. This understanding is not easily developed if the programmers are not encouraged and empowered to explore how things work and having little trust in them is the opposite of encouragement. So at the end programmers have "small" tasks but they end up being ill equipped to solve and become despondent.
