Pair Programming

Pair Programming 10/29/2003 12:12 AM

I've spent a few hours over the last two days pair programming with Adrian. We're working on a pretty huge project at the moment, and we've just started work on the coding phase, overlapping the design phase. I had tried pair programming a few times before with some success, but this time in particular the benefits of the approach were crystal clear. In total, we've defined 4 database tables, a number of functions and a simple class. Working separately we would almost certainly have created more lines of code. However...

• The code we have produced is free of bugs. That's a pretty bold claim to make, but every line has been extensively discussed, tested and looked over by two pairs of eyes.
• The naming conventions for both the Python code and the SQL are consistent and well thought out. We're both happy with them, we both understand why the names have been chosen and we both know the naming style well enough to continue it throughout the project.
• The coding style itself is ultra-clean and approved by both of us. We have a preference now for everything from quoting styles to whether or not a docstring should finish in a full-stop (it shouldn't). We also know enough to keep these standards going for the rest of the project.
• We learnt stuff from each other. KDE shortcuts, new features in Python 2.3, neat ways of laying out SQL statements, Python functional programming idioms.
• We started coding, or at least started discussing the code, at the time we had scheduled for the start. There was no procrastination.
• At no point did either of us check our email or check any blogs. productivity++!
• We both know the code that we have written inside out and back to front.

Altogether they have been highly productive and successful sessions. Our plan now is to pair program the system core, then work separately on the additional modules that don't have major dependencies on each other. There are only two of us developers working on the project so pair programming the whole thing isn't really practical, but the benefits of working together the core modules are obvious.

One last thing: it was a lot of fun!

Run Around NYC So You Might Have The

Run Around NYC So You Might Have The
Chance To Buy A Pair Of Sneakers? 05/12/2004 05:24 AM
While it doesn't sound quite as fun as PacManhattan, Nike seems to be getting into the spirit of real world/wireless games by coming up with an advertising campaign that will send SMS text messages to mobile phones telling them where they can find a particular poster. When they arrive at the post, they're told to submit the special code on the poster back to Nike. Players get points for both the number of posters they find and the speed with which they get to them. If they "win" they get a chance to "pre-buy" a pair of new Nike sneakers. Winners get the chance to buy something? Doesn't seem like much of a win to me, but maybe I'm just holding out for those smarter sneakers. Also, to be honest, this game doesn't sound like much fun. It sounds sort of like a mobile version of "fetch." They tell you where to go, you go, and you retrieve a code and send it back to them. Where's the challenge?

“JUNE 23—An AOL software engineer was arrested today for stealing the company’s entire subscriber list—totaling 92 million screen names—and selling it to a 21-year-old Las Vegas spammer. According to the below federal criminal complaint, Jason Smathers, 24, last year illegally accessed the highly confidential AOL list by using another employee’s identification codes. Smathers, who worked in AOL’s Dulles, Virginia office, then allegedly sold the list to Sean Dunaway, who used the AOL database to promote his own online gambling business and who also sold the list for $52,000 to fellow spammers, one of whom used the names ‘for purposes of marketing herbal penile enlargement pills,’ according to the complaint.’
