Extreme Programming
from the programming-while-bungee-jumping dept
The San Jose Mercury News has an article about the new trends towards "extreme programming", which basically appears to be two people programming together. Some people like it, some people hate it. Like anything, I imagine it's good for some things and not so good for others. Fans say that it creates more creative and flexible solutions. However, others say that it simply drags down good programmers while making bad programmers look better, and that it isn't particularly productive.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

New Software Development Theories
The trouble, of course, is that 99.99% of developers will never work in such an organization. I'd love to see a theory of software development that accounts for clueless management, incompetent H-1B guys from India who churn out bug-ridden spaghetti code, etc.
