"Please acknowledge" is the saddest email subject
That is if you want high speed, you must build high quality systems. If you want high quality systems, you must build them quickly as a series of small changes. This is what the data says, and when you stop and think about this, the reasons are pretty clear. 11/17
i trained an ai chatbot on my childhood journal entries - so that i could engage in real-time dialogue with my "inner child" some reflections below:

whenever i have to debug a node.js app, my first thought is never, “i’m so glad they were able to write this quickly”
What if we stopped saying "Technical Debt" and talked about the actual thing? Is it an escaped defect, infrastructure upgrade, shoddy code..? Builders don't have "structural debt", surgeons "surgical debt", or gardeners "botanical debt". #agile
That about sums up what I know about pair programming. Also, the things you label as “weird” are the most strategically important.
Extreme Programming Explained by @KentBeck is basically the bible for teams that pair program. Its reputation is well-deserved. Even though helped popularize the idea of pairing, it actually only has two pages on the subject! You'll probably be surprised by what it says:

every software engineer's dream is to get rich, buy that goat farm in the country, and then retire to the server room in the basement of the goat farm so they can actually finally write code
In 1999, a little book by @KentBeck started explaining Extreme Programming (XP) to the masses. 23 years later, it's still true to every word. But we, the developers, chose to ignore half of its learnings. In this thread 🧵I'll fix that for you. 👇👇👇
