XP: Xtreme Programming

It might work if we had close-range telepathy.

does it count as extreme programming if I drink mountain dew and do periodic kickflips while fizzbuzzing?

Is this how Windows XP was developed?

Also, do I need any acrobatic skills like I need for agile programming? Because I'm a fat fuck and couldn't hang on to a bar if my life depended on it

You need a helmet just in case.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised this thread got no serious replies considering that /g/ doesn't actually code (or discuss technology, for that matter).

it seems like a cost cutting technique to be honest.

Nah. Machines are the most inexpensive part of development. Ok, some companies insist on developing on Micro$hit (Then, enjoy your extortionate license fees) but if not, a low powered decade old Thinkpad with Linux or BSD will do fine for 99% of development tasks.

Jokes, aside I hadn't thought about that.

This image evokes nice feelings.

For hard problems where multiple people on the team will need to know about the code anyways, then it makes sense.

At my work, they're implementing some MMO-like stuff and rewriting some experimental stacks and libraries so fundamental changes or developments are shared pretty fast through over-the-shoulder and spontaneous pair programming.
