eXtreme Programming?


See, this is why I think XP was poorly named. My expectation of Extreme Programming involves guys with body-piercings and facial tattoos coding while base-jumping and chugging Mountain Dew.

Not pair-programming, good testing, and a minimalist design process.


"You have 30 seconds to finish coding this function before you reach the ground, perhaps a bit more if you angle your body just right."

I think I heard that before who said it?


If I'm quoting somebody I'm doing it unconsciously - I've been trotting that line out for a while but I thought it was original.
