Message-ID: <20020206001339.2FBC619981@mail.cse.psu.edu> (raw)
I haven't read enough about XP to comment on most of it, but I dislike
the idea of pair programming. There's nothing wrong with someone else
reading my code, but I need some quiet and calm to program, so having
someone nattering in my ear, second-guessing me is going to be a
disaster. And how is the other member of the pair selected? Having
someone you don't like or don't agree with as your partner would be
even more galling. It would be like being part of a team that isn't
self-selected but imposed by management (actually a ``team'' in that
case, since it's not real). And how do you program at home or when
travelling? Pick some random person as your partner? Go it alone?
