If the definition means that it's fixed and static and therefore
brittle and restrictive, I agree. If it's a collection of best
practices, the kind of stuff we're already doing, only better and more
automated: self-unit-testing, TDD, BDD, small, quick rapid iterations
with lots of client involvement, continuous integration testing,
well-integrated source code control, well, those can be really
empowering to cowboy developers to do the work they love to do.

I'm back from a couple days at a Ruby conference, and I'm really
impressed with the way that many of the top dev groups have integrated
those kinds of technology into their work, and how psyched they are
with how it works and the results they get.
