I'm going to be doing a full day xp workshop in about 2
months. This will be the first xp workshop I've done,
and pair programming is one of the things I'm still
concerned about being able to explain effectively. There
is still a very common mentality of code ownership
(developer owned and not team owned) that is hard for
many developers to overcome. I think getting people to
understand the need for pair programming and collective
ownership of code is probably getting simpler these days
because I think of lot of developers are beginning to
understand the positive impacts.
