那麼 Robert Fulghum 的《All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten 》怎麼又會跟 Extreme Programming 所提倡的 Pair Programming 扯上關係呢？ 看看這篇曾經刊登於 Communications of the ACM 的文章《All I Really Need to Know about Pair Programming I Learned In Kindergarten》吧。
Pair programming is a style of programming in which two programmers work side-by-side at one computer, continuously collaborating on the same design, algorithm, code or test. As discussed below, use of this practice has been demonstrated to improve productivity and quality of software products. Additionally, based on a survey(Williams 1999) of pair programmers (hereafter referred to as “the pair programming survey"), 100% agreed that they had more confidence in their solution when pair programming than when they program alone. Likewise, 96% agreed that they enjoy their job more than when programming alone.
