This is an excellent and concise statement of software development. I think, the best I've ever read. I don't think of TDD and Agile as being fads, though, but the best we have to date in an evolving process. It'll go on for decades yet.

And people, never forget that all software spends 99.999% of its life in maintenance. Be prepared.
