... As I recall, John A. De Goes announced a collaborative remote pairing application with that capability awhile back on this list. Here's the post... (hard...
This shouldn't be an argument. How about we create a document somewhere that gives our practices and hints for those who want to try it, and we direct people...
I would still pair, but probably not all the time. I once pair programmed with my best friend, full time. After a week, we almost killed each other. Might just...
Hi Ron, ... It seems to me that we need to hold firm to two ideas as we think about this problem. 1. It's currently nowhere near as good as direct, in-person...
On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 1:14 PM, Charlie Poole ... I am fairly sure that it cannot be made as good. I think that the current form that we call "human" is a...
... I'm certainly not going to suggest that there *isn't* a drive towards distributed agile to cut costs, but I personally find myself on distributed agile...
... That's actually what I meant by "access to a greater supply of in demand workers." If you need to have someone remote because you can't find (or don't know...
... While I can't prove it, my suspicion is that we're more productive with our distributed team of talented developers than we would be if we didn't have any...
Were I am at the moment, we are 7 so we can't pair all the time but we found out that pairing all the time we can even in trivial tasks that required no coding...
Hi Adam, ... That's my gut reaction as well. But I'd be happy for someone without my biases to come up with a solution that proves me wrong. I dislike seeing ...
A while back this list spoke a bit about Complex Adaptive Systems, and I skimmed past the thread. Now I see it again as an Agile2010 conference session, and I...
Hello, André. I can't find that email you sent out recruiting special people to pic up tasks. Please send again. Thanks, Ron Jeffries www.XProgramming.com ...
Hello, Heinrich. On Wednesday, February 24, 2010, at 4:58:33 PM, ... Yes. Just not very well. Ron Jeffries www.XProgramming.com www.xprogramming.com/blog The...
There is no reason to reject the insufficient miracle. Remote pairing is a kind of poor miracle, leaving many problems unsolved or ill-solved, but it is a...
The difference between what you described "I would do these things" and a CAS might be that everyone is doing these things versus one person commanding others...
... To me, the "grass is greener" argument seems backwards in this case, at least if I were imagining reasons why I would work remotely or would hire somebody...
On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 8:55 PM, Charlie Poole ... So CAS would have implications on my work in ways that the Theory of Constraints has implications on my...
On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 9:25 PM, D.André Dhondt ... Complex systems are made up of lots of individual agents each of whom are following a simple set of rules....
On Sat, Feb 27, 2010 at 9:27 PM, D.André Dhondt ... I don't believe CAS has any implication on the way that a small team does XP. CAS might have implications...

Add my thanks for this post. It really made me think! The same forces seem to be in play here as in OO design: for a complex project we should have small teams...
... I think my team lives inside a larger system which is a CAS. In order for us to keep moving as fast as we can, we have to adapt to what sales, marketing,...

Hi, 2010/2/28 Adam Sroka <adam.sroka@...> ... the implications may be more obvious when we look at distributed and dispersed agile teams. Complexity of...
Not on a breadboard, but a previous boss of mine developed RF designs (approx 100-400MHz) in a 'christmas tree' fashion over a copper board, which meant the...
