Pair Programming and ISO 27001

I’ve been working in an eXtreme programming team and doing pair programming for over 7 years in a windows environment. When we first started doing it someone would log in with their windows credentials and therefore all access to domain resources, and more specifically version control, would be accountable to that windows user. Eventually we have evolved to have windows pairing accounts for specific pairing stations (e.g pairA, pairB, PairC etc…). All the devs know the passwords to these accounts. Accountability for commits (check-ins) is achieved by putting the programmers initials in the comment during the commit.

Pair programming remotely with Visual Studio?

What tools exist to facilitate pair programming with Visual Studio when the programmers are not in the same physical location? At the moment we are thinking voice (Skype?) plus remote desktop (VNC? TeamViewer?), but it would be good to know of other suggestions and experiences. Also, is there anything more integrated with Visual Studio?

Pair programming and unit testing

Pair programming when driver and observer have different skill level and experience

I know pair programming is an agile software development technique in which two programmers work together at one workstation. One, the driver, writes code while the other, the observer, reviews each line of code as it is typed in.

Should Junior Programmers be involved as code reviewers in the projects of Senior Programmers?

One of my team members, a junior programmer, has impressive programming skills for his level of experience.

Peer programming and experience sharing

There was a mention in the Java Posse Podcast about how teams should be divided up into pairs. However, there was a mention from the lady on the podcast that: “Pairs should be mixed up [sic]” (an encouragement for diversity)

When to (enforce) linting in a software project

I’m heading a new team of developers working on a software project that makes use of continuous integration (circleci) w/ a pretty fleshed out suite of busterjs unit/integration/acceptance tests. Our project is primarily written w/ coffeescript, and I try to make use of coffeescript-linter to ensure everyone working our code base keeps code consistent and as organized as possible.

Programming task organization

My friend and I decided to create a large programming project together. Before that, I have never worked in a pair (I had quite many projects on my own and at work the boss defined the task for me). But now we have an idea of what kind of app we are going to do, how to plan it…but how can we divide the responsibility for the code in the project so that we don’t do each other’s work and it is not so closely related that we have to overlap each other’s code?
