Does he have it right?

What does he mean by  "written".  Is that  "documented" or "coded"?

He says "use cases and business rules written and tested"   To test, you need code.   
That means he is defining "written" as "coded", not "documented"..

Use cases and business rules documented?   Yes - that's a fundamental part of systems 
design.

Coded and tested? No way before you have the data model!

It still bugs me when other developers insist on using the database as the cache or be used for impermanent data, such as cookie sessions, message queuing and etc. But, I digress... memcache became an immediate hit in the early days for web developers who realised that RDBMS performance really sucks if you want to scale your architecture. And then the seed was planted and people started to realise they wanted something with the simplicity of memcache but the utility of a RDBMS.
