why we must pair-program
Sunday, October 15th, 2006obie fernandez brings it to the point:
Truth is, pair programming is one of the only effective ways that a lot of us have ever witnessed keeping average developers from pissing away 95% of their productivity engaging in non-work such as reading and writing blogs, instant messaging, personal email, shopping online and otherwise wasting time on bullshit. When you’re pairing, you simply HAVE to work all day.
“[We] had meeting after meeting about pair programmer at [my former employer], and the only real issue they could raise about it, what it was too tiring to be “on” for 8+ hours a day…”
it’s as simple as that.
by the way i have changed workplace and have actually been working in (just one) pair in the recent weeks. a behind the scenes and results coming up in the next days.
