I'm not trying to smear Extreme Programming, because it can lead to tremendous learning increases by sharing coding styles & algorythms.
But at the risk of perpetuating a stereotype, most programmers (@ least hard core) tend to be somewhat lacking in social skills. Myself Included.
To that end I personally prefer a prelimminary brainstorming session & later a code review process
to go over what's been done. I think this can have the same benefits overall, except perhaps that you need to actually BUY a computer for every programmer. 8-P
Another frustration issue...Why do programmers always get lame gear? (And don't give me that crap that your code should run on EVERY machine...i.e. lowest common denominator)
Wait! This isn't a Parachute, this is a Backpack!
