Real life success stories are more than welcome to this Software Engineering
Teacher-type.  I've found that Brooks' book seems to place all teams in some
sort of Shangri-La, where managers are infinitely knowlegable and respect their
programmers, customers are always happy, etc.  

Do chief programmer teams really work anywhere outside of a university
classroom or in an experimental industrial setting?
