This misunderstands the management that happens in companies. Of course you need to sort through goals, figure out priorities, get groups to align on key decisions, monitor them, direct resources towards them, and have people who can do unpleasant things like talk to users and customers, do research, etc. The bazaar composed of only programmers randomly working on parts they think are interesting or fun can’t achieve the same results in solving end users problems because it isn’t incentivized to.
