How to convince my teammates to follow some basic rules
I have a problem with my teammates. Long story short: We are three students working at a project for a competition. The project consists of 2 separate applications: one for Windows (that I develop) and one for Android (my colleagues are responsible for developing it). Our code bases will never intersect, the apps will communicate via third party tools.
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)

How can architects work with self-organizing Scrum teams?
An organization with a number of agile Scrum teams also has a small group of people appointed as “enterprise architects”. The EA group acts as control and gatekeeper for quality and adherence to decisions. This leads to overlaps between the team decision and EA decisions.
Prevent developers from using constants
I have one one software system which allows developers to specify an ID or name to create NodeReferences. Both work fine, but ID’s are not guaranteed to be the same across different environments. I’ve tried in documentation and in conversations to stress that ID’s should not be hard coded (since they will break when deployed to a different environments), but some developers are still using them.

Shared QA responsibilities on an Agile team
For many years our IT development group subscribed to the waterfall software development methodology with segregated pods of programmers specializing in database development, logic layer and presentation layer development. Of course we also had a small quality assurance group which handled all testing responsibilities. Requirements, tasks and bugs were handed back and forth electronically, very little conversation took place, and the process ground painfully on.
How to train junior programmers for today’s (complicated) web environment?
Currently our company develops applications consisting, most of the time, in Ruby on Rails web servers and a bunch of different REST clients, from kiosk systems in Java to embedded devices in C/C++ (besides the interfaces for standard web browsers). We need to expand our team and, having failed at finding good senior programmers, we decided to put some effort into training junior programmers who would grow together with the company.
