#quote #programming

So, why does pair programming work for XP? Well, the first value is communication, and there are few forms of communication more intense than face-to-face. So, pair programming works for XP because it encourages communication. I like to think of the analogy of a pool of water. When an important new bit of information is learned by someone on the team, it is like putting a drop of dye in the water. Because of the pairs switching around all the time, the information rapidly diffuses throughout the team just as the dye spreads throughout the pool. Unlike the dye, however, the information becomes richer and more intense as it spreads and is enriched by the experience and insight of everyone on the team.

And then we asked them to enable logging…
