Laura,

That was an extraordinarily fine treatise on pair programming! Thank you
very much.

For most of my professional life I have been "the goto guy" however, I
now find myself in a situation where I'm working with several people who
are *far* better programmers than I am, and who regularly make my head
spin with their brilliance. The cool thing is that while they have
egos--we all have egos of some sort--they are all willing to listen to
other points of view about the code being written!

I think I have probably learned more about coding over the last year
working in pairs with these really smart guys, than I had learned over
the previous 10 years working in a more "traditional" manner.

Test driven, pair programming has made me a better programmer, and the
quality of the code we produce is *very* high.
