That seems pretty reasonable. I'd hate to work at a place that "didn't enforce" something, but had it turn into a 15 pieces of flair type situation.

That's the work that leadership should assisting in -- enabling devs to recognize and move into situations where pairing is beneficial, and giving them the scheduling tools and methods to do it successfully. The best a company should

The only way I've seen this kind of situation come about is if pairing isn't forced. "Forced" means leadership encouraging at every opportunity, ham-handedly, without considering context. If there isn't an extreme

I wonder what this says about pair programming, given that writing code and communicating are pretty different tasks, according to imaging: https://medicalxpress.com/news/2020-12-brain-code-decipher-n...

OK, that answers the comparison with Twitter or Reddit. How about Google, then? But on reach, I think that might be it: Facebook has more of it among a larger population (and possibly one that has more effect on the rest those around them)

All of those, yes, and further that such metrics aren't as readily available in the consciousness of the general tech population. You don't find it strange that you're able to call up such a catalogue of naughty things Faceb

More and more tech companies are beginning to hire for soft skills as a main emphasis, with basic technical skills as a given. They're tending to intentionally NOT hire l337 folks, with a lot of emphasis on avoiding the "brillian

Have you any proof? By the same justification, I could claim that you're a competitor, and trying to make things difficult for OP. Say you're not? Well, you are.

Opposing something that's government-controlled does not contradict that. I'm not arguing against it, by any means, though. If municipal services are governed by the Bill of Rights primarily, I'd be all for it, at this poin

What I'm getting at is this: The story is about notable consequences at a school, which is not a private institution (generally). So, the commenter was probably using the term in conjunction with such consequences. It was clear from

I've gotten scolded for doing things like that, but it's 2021, so selective enforcement on Very Important platforms is nothing surprising.
