I am not impressed. I found almost nothing new or convincing there.
It conforts me in my disappointment for software patterns. Patterns
are too simple a way to present complex information. They work as long

contexts in which different solutions would apply.
For example, in the context of ClearCase, I believe nightly builds
are a poor idea.
Many useful links.
