Pair programming. I'm half-joking, but sometimes it is used like that.

Pair programming. I'm half-joking, but sometimes it is used like that.
- aloneinkyoto 15y agoI have experienced this scenario first hand. It made me quit my otherwise fairly well paid new job.
- jrockway 15y agoIsn't pair programming where you sit back and think about kittens while someone else monopolizes your keyboard? If they want to write the tests first, let 'em.
- jasonlotito 15y ago> Isn't pair programming where you sit back and think about kittens while someone else monopolizes your keyboard? No, it's not. If that's how you define it, you've never pair programmed.
- jasonlotito 15y agoI forgot, anti-TDD is the trend these days. Should have made a joke about TDD being an STD in the programming world. Much better then actually contributing or correcting those who are wrong.
- jrockway 15y agoI think you're being a bit overly sensitive. I'm describing what you can do other than quit if you don't want to do pair programming. Nobody ever says no to carte blanche to do whatever they want, and if you give them your keyboard, they won't even know you're mentally watching YouTube videos involving rainbows, a repeating soundtrack, and pop-tarts taped to cats.
- philwelch 15y agoI know all too well, though I was being a little oblique about it. Also, your religious TDD folks and your religious pair programmers are often the same people (same religion?)
