My idea of home cooked software is certainly not "waterfall-y" at all. Rather, it is building from the ground up, aiming at a fairly well defined end goal. Of course, there is no one-size-fits-all solution here. Not everyone is working on web apps, CRUD, or using node. I spent my career writing embedded systems and instrument control software, mainly in C/C++. I had colleagues who specialized on data reduction pipelines, using C and Fortran. Others who did the web/database thing. Software development is a vast and varied field. What works in one arena may well be unsuitable in another. Be prepared to be flexible and open to new ideas.
