“Want to write better code? How about working less overtime,
getting along with your team better, meeting customer demands more
quickly and accurately, spending less money, and having more
fun?“
“Extreme Programming may be for you.”
“Extreme Programming is a way to improve software development by
focusing on what really matters. If it will cost you $50,000 to
implement a feature now that may not be used for two years, and it
will cost you $55,000 to implement it in two years, hold off. If
running test suites is good, write tests for every significant
piece of the system. If multiple pairs of eyes make bugs shallower,
program in pairs. If you enjoy meeting deadlines (and not working
your fingers to the bone every night for weeks to do so), make
shorter deadlines.”
