Here's pure Waterfall (phase 2, not 3 of his project):

"7 reasons I switched back to PHP after 2 years on Rails"
http://www.oreillynet.com/ruby/blog/2007/09/7_reasons_i_switched_back_to_p_1.html

His rewrite bombed because he tried accidentally did it Waterfall-style, so of 
course he blamed Rails, and caused a tempest in a teapot in his comments 
section. His "2 years on Rails" did not include, say, frequently deploying it...

My rebuttal:

"Big Requirements Up Front"

"They" were a dot-com in 1999, so we will never know if it could have worked... (-:
