I can't believe FastCompany quoted joshu from here as well. A stupid blog post from mashable using that comment is ridiculous but excusable, but FC? I wonder if they asked him if they could use that quote... One of the Valley's recent post

Nice post, nothing really new there, but this caught my eye from the comments: Despite this, some in the Lean camp are still trying to pretend that we can use an industrial metaphor to produce software. Why? Because just like in the 1960's
