  Do we need a "Think before code" manifesto? This is a true counter-standpoint to all the agile cargo cult that has been developed in the last years... Not to be taken as 100% dogma, like everything...

    I understand what you're referring to, but such a manifesto, if even moderately successful, would inevitably become dogma, and then lead us right back to... waterfall.
