Big Ball of Mud

Disclaimer: I do not submit this link because I believe and agree with everything it says; that is, I do not see it as absolute truth.

Rather, I submit this link as a viewpoint, which if properly understood and considered, can lead to more thoughtful, more circumspect, software engineering as a result of that consideration...

It is well worth reading if one wishes to consider all diverse viewpoints in their own software engineering pursuits...
