  2. Web development becomes more complicated the more you pull it apart and less so the more you step back.

  4. Software development needs to support the needs of those in the organisation. Otherwise, its ability to serve the needs of the customer will fall apart in short order.
  5. You may think that software development at a software company serves the customer directly, but you’d be mistaken. The organisation is the software development team’s primary customer.
