Hi, Marcus,
I guess the question is, “Do you Really believe that there Really is a better way do engineer software?” I guess that amounts to the question, “In the very, very long run, do you think that software engineering will converge upon a short list of best practices.” Or are such preferences merely idiopathic.

It’s a culture? There is no right or wrong about it? > In practice, it is a culture. People cling to their beliefs and their habits, like the racists do. Attempts to intervene cause a lot of turmoil. Intervention sometimes seems urgent, but really it is probably better to avoid these cultures. Marcus
