JWZ is a legend in my eyes - but his rants need to be updated for contemporary times. In particular 'all software projects grow until the point that they can read mail' is outdated because port 80 and some byzantine web api* is a whole extra challenge for the app developer over port 21 and smtp. Perhaps the oncoming flash of The Singularity also raises the bar for stupid software development decisions.
