I agree, Steve. I think I've told everyone about the job I worked on as
architect using XFB. ALL the coding for a full ecommerce site
(www.solutionssite.com) was done in less than 2 calendar days by parsing out
a BUNCH of fuses to a BUNCH of programmers who had no idea what the site was
about. They just fulfilled the "contract" of the Fusedoc and it took me
under 4 hours to "stitch" them together. Holy Moly--it worked!!
I wrote an article for CFDJ on Extreme Programming some time ago. I've found
some of their ideas really excellent. In particular, pair programming rocks
the rockin' horse-house.

The reason I've been studying extreme programming is my latest goal in
life is to disprove the mythical man month. The mythical man month is a
book that was written back in 1974 that explains that adding more
manpower to a project does not linearly make the project go faster.
I think with the combination of the concepts we've all come up with in
this Fusebox community and the ideas the extreme programming community
has come up with along with a handful of management tools, I think it
could be possible to break free of the mythical man month.
