I'd agree that "Q" does not necessarily imply "D". But in a sense, what you
describe is a kind of design (informal though it may be) over time - partly
possibly by trial and error or deep meditation, etc. You come up with large
quantities of code that have broken the problem up into well defined chunks
and then you can quickly glue them together into a working, reliable
application. That sort of thing can work quite well. I think where it breaks
down is when you have a development project that may not be well understood,
well defined/scoped, and starts involving a larger number of people. Then
you've got to be a bit more rigorous or you end up in trouble.
