Well waterfall is how we built the old world. Piece by piece, module by module, roads, bridges, buildings, boats.

I got intrigued by your comment, I couldn't wrap my head about a process just changing. Got AI to throw out this table, but I think its of interest:

Waterfall ~1970, Agile ~2001, Continuous (DevOps) ~2015, Autonomous Dev ~2030, Self-Evolving Systems ~2040, Goal-Directed Ecosystems ~2050+

What do you think about “goal-directed ecosystems” mapping to Mulder’s Collaborative Agent Maturity Model (CAMM)?

~1985 Iterative Development.

That waterfall was what everyone did before agile is a myth. AI produces the recent popular viewpoint as truth whether it is true or not.
