Will we ever get past the "curb appeal" problem of software engineering - that revulsion they feel at the sight of automated tests, collaborative coding, continuous integration, and incremental development? I'm not sure what makes them as emotionally jarring as they seem to be.

"[A] democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is Fascism—ownership of Government by an individual, by a group, or by any other controlling private power." - FDR (1938)
