HR and Pair Programming
Posted by andy in : Agile on February 21, 2004Keith Braithwaite posted an iteresting comment on the XTC wiki
XPDeveloper.com. He asked about problems with HR and pair programming.
They have noticed that our XP developers all log on to the development workstations (which are reserved exclusively for pairing on development tasks) using the same ID. They find this unacceptable. Their preferred solution is for the “driver” to be logged in, and then log out to allow the “navigator” to log in each time the keyboard changes hands. We find this unacceptable, for obvious reasons.
Imagine having to log out/in everytime you switch keyboards? It amazes me the “problems” that people make for themselves.
