I don't see the two practices as antithetical: complex features with a lot of potential pitfalls take advantage from pair programming; code reviews are perfect for BAU tasks.
I am a bit suspicious of the ecstatic tone that the author has while writing about pair programming: I am not sure I ever met someone who deeply enjoys it; at best it's seen as good practice, or a necessary evil.
- drewolson 13y agoI'm confused, you're questioning the author's sincerity in expressing his own enjoyment of pair programming? I deeply enjoy pairing. I know quite a few folks that do as well.
- southpawgirl 13y agoOk, fine then :) I admit I've never met anyone so genuinely enthusiastic about pair programming, so it sounds unusual to me.
- elliotf 13y agoGive it a go sometime. It's the most fun I've had at a job.
- drfatbooty 13y agoI worked with the author at last_job and can attest to the genuineness of his tone. Pairing is pretty fun when you like your coworkers.
- ssgelm 13y agoI definitely genuinely enjoy pair programming as long as it's with the right person. In the end it's all about who you are working with.
