Big Ball of Mud, Still the Most Popular Software Design

Big Ball of Mud, Still the Most Popular Software Design:
"Big Ball of Mud, is a code jungle which is haphazardly structured, sprawling, sloppy and connected by duct-tape. Over the years we have been introduced to various guidelines such as SOLID, GRASP and KISS amongst age old, high cohesion and low coupling to deal with this Mud. However, the situation still remains bleak and Big Ball of Mud seems to be a popular way to design and architect software.

Interestingly, as per FJ, Yoder felt that many aspects of Agile directly lead to mud. These included,
1) Lack of upfront design
2) Late changes to the requirements
3) Late changes to the architecture
4) Piecemeal growth
