narramissic writes "In recent years, Extreme Programming (XP) has come of age. Its principles of transparency, trust and accountability represent a change of context that is good not only for software development but for everyone involved in the process. In this interview, Kent Beck and Cynthia Andres, co-authors of 'Extreme Programming Explained: Embrace Change,' discuss how XP makes improvement possible."

  1. Real Extreme Programming by niceone · · Score: 5, Funny

    IMO real extreme programming should involve at least 3 of the following:

    1. Only having 24 hours to deliver the code
    2. Failing would cause thousands of innocent people to die
    3. Getting your interface specs from a dieing man after being helicoptered across town
    4. Using emacs
    5. Failing code review results in you and/or your spouse being shot in the leg
