buzzandersen shares a story from Malcolm Gladwell:

For years now, whenever the subject of open source product design has come up in conversation, I’ve mentioned this 2005 Malcolm Gladwell New Yorker piece about Steve Gundrum, a tech-minded Silicon Valley baker who decided to pit three software development methodologies (open source, XP, and traditional hierarchical R&D) against each other in a battle to develop the ultimate low-fat cookie.

Buzz is one of my favorite storytellers (and story curators) of the software generation.
