Subject: Extreme Programming - The Most Productive Way To Produce Code

Author: Graham Laight

Date: 07:44:15 01/13/03


In so many jobs, two people working as a team are worth far more than the sum of
two individuals working on their own. In fact, partners (who get on well) tend
to run rings around their solo counterparts.

This has been found to be true of programming. Two people working at a single
workstation (one keyboard, one mouse, one screen), have been found to produce
MORE good code than two people working with two workstations. Strangely, this
does not surprise me.

Here's a link to a well thought out, highly sophisticated analysis of extreme
programming, which is also mercifully brief - highly recommended reading!

n.b. - this post was originally made in CTF, but I have been requested to post
it in CCC as well. The thinking is that because chess programmers work on their
own, they'll want to disagree.
