I saw this today and kinda nodded vigorously. The issues he talks about
are the tendency of many computer folks to develop code "in a cave".
Basically, they want to go off, write lots of code, and then expect the
project to integrate the code bomb.

The second article finally articulates the bad "gut feel" that I have
always had about Linux development. It was an "anti-BitKeeper" article
that I somehow missed on the first round. The argument, rather than
being concerned by the license, revolves around BitKeeper encouraging a
specific style of development (just like Linux) that may not be the best
option.
