Not sure I understand the point of this. There are well fleshed out models that have exhaustive documentation and practices that show you how to go from start to finish with pretty much any project. A blog post like this isn't something people should be looking at for creating good software applications, especially one that disregards evolutionary prototyping in favour of throwaway simply because "as will be discussed later in this article, prototype code is meant to be "thrown away"". Maybe he should just link to documentation on the different models of software development and UML - especially when he considers architecture to be something that shouldn't be documented well before starting, completely contrary to the practices of UML. Obviously creating code is incremental and not as straight-forward as the managerial waterfall model, that's why prototyping is essential in all stages of development, and isn't solely a stage by itself, which is a central component to the spiral development model.
