Semantec has done several detailed analyses of Stuxnet. They are in no doubt this was an extremely well resourced project that was state financed.
Yeah I read that, but nobody seems to mention what coding and project management practices were used in development of this software.

If this software is really done by military then it's development process was following some strict military standards and regulation. and should be similar to existing other software.

Regulations like : How is software partitioned to modules? What interfaces it is using? Are this novel or existing techniques? and things like that.

The code was (obviously) obfuscated and encrypted in every way possible so that it's origin or any details about it's inception cannot be read if someone catches the code. To expect a readme file saying "managed by git on mac" in stuxnet's root directory is laughable.
