I think you hit the nail on the head of what I'm getting at: "Famous for being famous." I guess I'm wondering if this is starting to happen in OSS and Programming in general?

Serious question: What does TDD, BDD, Extreme Programming, SCRUM, Standups and all the stuff in the first paragraph have to do with writing a library or app with proper documentation? I'm completely lost as to how doing Extreme Programming
