Extreme Programming
A friend in the game development industry recently pointed out this article to me. It’s an interesting walkthrough of a typical day at software engineer Noel Llopis’ job. Reading the description of the work flow, however, I found it anything but typical. Perhaps I’ve been under a rock for awhile, but the concept of pair programming was quite new to me, and a rather fascinating idea. Is this approach a practical one for other industries? For smaller teams? It’s definitely one that deserves more thought and research.
