The pair programming thing turned up on TSS and ended up with the usual “You suck” enlighments with the occasional, surprisingly non-embarassed, opinions on whether or not the Struts API is easy to understand (sic).

Whatever.

If you don’t like to pair program don’t do it. I am not going to tell people what to do.

Unless of course you work where I work. In that case, share the (wireless) keyboard. The reason being code quality, and development speed.

Chiara wants to work where Jon works, which is where I work too.

I wanna work where that boy works.

Just so you know, we’re an XP shop :-).

What time did Mr.Tirsen arrive?

Our morning meetings are at ten. I believe he was in by then.

As for the rest, sticking to architectural guidelines etc … too bad. “Do the simplest thing that can possibly work” and “You Ain’t Gonna Need It” are our mottos. Works wonders with architecture too, but it requires them “best and brightest” to come down from their ivory towers and start contributing to the code. I know a few people who feel that coding is below their skill level and dignity, so they won’t. Whatever, they will be the first to go when the revolution comes :-).
