Pair progamming anyone?
I have some doubts about pair programming. First of all it's expensive for a company to pay two people writing with one keyboard. Some papers tell that they always produce less than separately. Second, it might be difficult indeed to pair them, in terms of matching the personalities. Coders are smart with strong egos...
However I understand that pair programming is a long term investment for collective code ownership and better code design.
Now, I have stumbled in this tool for Eclipse, called Cola, for real time shared coding. I haven't tried it yet, but it is very interesting. To me it seems to unleash all the pair programming power.
