Mikado book: Grammar, Typos, etc.

"Computer programs has to improve"
I think that's correct for "British English", but for "American
English", it should be:
"Computer programs _have_ to improve"
The third para is awkward and a bit confusing:
"Perhaps while the pressure is high because we must keep delivering
new functionality once a month, or even more frequently than that? We
might also have a huge system that is hard to comprehend and its
complexity makes it hard to keep all necessary details in our heads at
once?"
Having those phrased as questions is making it hard for me to
understand the point of the paragraph.
4th para:
"To complicate things even more software development is seldom
performed alone"
besides the missing comma after "more", I'm not sure what specifically
is meant by "performed alone". By a single coder? A bunch of coders in
some isolated room?
page iii, third line:
"progress; We cannot"
The W should be lower-case, and I'm not sure a semi-colon is warranted
(but I've never been good at using semi-colons).
0.1.3, page iii, second sentence:
"Therefor software..." should be "Therefor_e_ software..."
