Изглежда, още един е разбрал за какво иде реч при сложните системи. Цитирайки Линус Торвалдс:

Trust me, it never was.
And I will go further and claim that _no_ major software project that has
been successful in a general marketplace (as opposed to niches) has ever
gone through those nice lifecycles they tell you about in CompSci classes.
Have you _ever_ heard of a project that actually started off with trying
to figure out what it should do, a rigorous design phase, and a
implementation phase?
Dream on.
Software evolves. It isn't designed. The only question is how strictly you
_control_ the evolution, and how open you are to external sources of
mutations.
And too much control of the evolution will kill you. Inevitably, and
without fail. Always. In biology, and in software.
Amen.
