For example a new employee, a struggling employee, a manager like dude who wants to get back into the groove, once a month to compare notes on how people are using tools (Patrick and I both had a - wait! how did you make emacs / eclipse / etc. do that!? moment).<BR/><BR/>So anyway, it is just really another tool in the toolbox that should be used by teams as they see fit.fuzzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04442788840388847156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8655567.post-73394833379098398432007-03-23T21:42:00.000-07:002007-03-23T21:42:00.000-07:00Oops.

For some time now I have felt that my focus on continual learning was a tremendous competitive advantage; thanks for giving away my trade secret. ;)<BR/><BR/>I, too, think there is a place for pair programming. For me, it's once or twice a month. But I think the rate of pairing is sensitive not only to the individuals (not in-duh-viduals) involved but also to the technology and problem domain. Climbing the learning curve definitely seems like a time to have more pairing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
