Of course. There are a lot of features of CL that renders most of the software engineering fad entirely useless or obvious.
This is part of the reasons why lisp is not more popular: there's no PhD to work on when you work with lisp, since the problems they solve don't occur or are solved trivially in lisp; there's no software engineering technique to be developed and evangelized (with books or expensive conferences) when you work with lisp because there are no deficiencies so dire in the language to require them; there's no need for sophisticated tools and IDE to be developped and sold to lisp programmers, since the syntax is so trivial just a few hacks in emacs are enough for 99% of the needs.
