Pair programming is not agile, eXtreme programming mandates it if memory serves, agile is a methodology not a hard and fast way of working, and yes when done well it adds a lot of value. 100% pair programming is unsustainable IMO (having been there and done it for a while).Comment

Originally posted by pauldee View PostAlthough I'm an Agile advocate, I'm not one for pair programming. It's useful sometimes, not most of the time, and anyone who advocates doing it all the time is just an ideologue. And it really hinders my browsing of CUK.Comment

If you do so regularly, you might find they come to always expect a 10 hour day from you.

The whole sorry affair is finally over after 2 weeks
I had car trouble this morning so I emailed them to say I'd be a bit late. Walked in at 10 am and 15 minutes later I'm out.
The reason? Talking about non project related stuff to my team mate when I was already 1 hour late and buying a coffee on the way in which meant I could have been 10 minutes earlier had I not bought it.
Square peg in round hole is the expression that springs to mind on this one... Hey ho, time to move on.Comment

And car trouble. Deciding whether to use the Bentley or the Porsche shouldn't make you an hour late should it?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the email that got you kicked off the project."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment
