I think it's totally awesome that some groups are doing that. I just wish we had a set of these practices which were compatible with the realities of shipping bigcorp and gov contracts. - Continuous deployment: sure, you're continuously deploying, because it takes a year and 23 signatures to get a release greenlighted into production. - Project ownership: you can own any part which wasn't nailed down in the contract before the first line of code was written, meaning almost no parts at all. - Monitoring first: you can come monitor as much as you want, if you fly over to another country to sit behind a screen logged onto the private network on which the app runs. We do continuous integration in our dev environment, and ofcourse not all production environments are that walled off, but I've seen examples of such extremes many times, and it seems endemic to large-scale organizations.
