To me, C makes a lot of sense for software that doesn't change all the time. The point in the article about being an engineer is valid. However, most website projects are business-driven, which means that you are constantly changing and refactoring stuff as misunderstandings get cleared up, design flaws emerge, business models change, minds change, etc etc. Business software projects are not just engineering, and if you treat them as such you will endure pain. The analogy with a house is odd - if a house was purely an engineering problem, then they would probably all be built out of precast concrete or something, not "wood and steel". Aesthetics, tastes, budgets, and tradition all have an impact, and nearly every house is unique, so you use the "best tool for the job" - the one that is the easiest to customize on-site.
