Subject: how many chess programs have more than one author?

I think that the fact that most programs have only one author is a disadvantage.

I believe that programmers could progress significantly faster if the program
was designed by 2 persons when one person decide about the data structure of the
program and the algorithm and the second person implement it without bugs.

The problem of a lot of chess programs is bugs and part of the bugs are bugs
that the authors even do not know about them.

I think that a person that his talent is not finding good ideas but implementing
ideas without bugs may be productive for a lot of programmers.

I wonder if there is a team of 2 programmers in chess when the job of one
of them is not to suggest data structure and algorithms but only to write the
program with no bugs based on a given data structure and algorithms that are
given by the second person in the team.
