>> Tim Bray said: Just another data point; XP contains some ideas that seem truly great, but I'm not convinced that you need to buy into the whole package. Like most people, we haven't bought into pair programming - pair debugging, sure. >> XP doesn't separate debugging from programming, so the idea of single programming and pair debugging doesn't make sense. Ideally you'll be coding tests first, so it's natural to pair all the time. Pair programming does seem to be the strongest point of resistance developers have to XP: it's well outside most coders' comfort zone. The point of doing it is that quality code gets written with less agony in less time and it is known to work to that end. XP is an ideal as much as anything: how close you want to get to that ideal is up to you. -Bill de hÓra
