Couldn't stop recalling this quote from pg while reading this article:

"Really good software is not software that is written according to some particular design methodology. The really really good software is software that does something fabulous. Although, if you’re trying to do something fabulous it is unlikely you’d write the software in a lousy way, at least, and succeed." - pg
