A look over the shoulder of an XP programmer (auf deutsch)

2001-05-16 Thread Philip Newton

Seen in news:de.alt.sysadmin.recovery :

http://www.frankwestphal.de/XPueberdieSchultergeschaut.html

The poster thought it was satire; I'm not so sure. Anyway, if you understand
German (or trust Babelfish), have a look at it.

Enjoy!

Cheers,
Philip

 Do you think it's possible to take XP too far?
 *Too* extreme?
 


Sure it is.

Having two people look at/develop a piece of code is better than one.

Therefore having three people must be even better.

But why stop there - why not four, five, six . . .

Better yet - design/develop by committee!

Oh yeah and them. Apparently it's stop people using newsgroups and Napster.
We didn't bother explaining that most of us use mailing lists and use ftp to

You've hit the fundamental problem with XP. Getting anything done requires
two programmers to agree on something; this, as everyone knows, is impossible.
