All around pretty good article. Never thought about using the pomodor technique while pair programming.
The part about "informal hierarchies" threw me off, and comes off a bit sexist and racist to me. I read this as "hierarchies that are generally recognized/accepted by the public". I don't believe Fowler intended it to read this way. I think it's okay however to recognize people may have interpersonal issues, for a wide range of reasons.
- GhostVII 7y agoI think that section makes good points about hierarchies between more and less senior people, and between people with a CS degree and people without, but yea I think it is unnecessary to single out white men and imply that they are more likely to try and hog the keyboard or always be in teaching mode.
