    I like XP too. :D

    I must admit that I'm still not using any of it. Just picked up a book about it few days ago. And many (basically all) things simply make sense.

    Of course, I tried some things that it promotes on my own, before I even heard for XP. Like Pair Programming. I used that a lot on programming labs in High School and College. It works exactly as they say - two heads are better than one. One thinks locally (one that is typing the code) and the second thinks more globally while also checking for typos and doing other tasks like paperwork ...

    Too bad I'm working as a freelancer so some of XP stuff simply wont work :(

    Have you tried freelancing? Check out Scriptlance - I work there.

    I am big fan of XP as well. At the very least, writing tests is *extremely* helpful, especially as your team grows.
