HOW TO PAIR PROGRAM
Illustration by Siobhán K Cronin. Programming, like any art practice, is a performance. Our code reflects the physical and virtual environment it was created in, the culture of the team, the social weather of the room, the constraints of the toolchain and the target architecture, and the mood and facility of the performer at moment ofstrike.
THE MOMENT WHEN YOU REALIZE EVERY SERVER IN THE WORLD IS The response. That was 2011. In response to Klink and Wälde’s findings, most languages switched to a hashing function that incorporates a secret randomized seed value that is reset every time anew program is run.

It had no tests, as prevention-oriented software testing hadn’t caught on yet. But to me Circle was quite beautiful.

Agile stories don’t tell us what to code; they are only examples. They offer small slices of the bigger abstractions that we’ll usually need. Stories are tiny windows that we can peer through as we code. The simplicity of a story motivates and concentrates our creative effort. WHAT REALLY KILLS MOST STARTUPS Behavioral, cultural, and interpersonal issues are among the biggest killers of startups, but they are seldom discussed in public. These issues are very personal. They are sometimes scary for founders to confront within themselves, and even scarier to confess to the world. Yet they are the true gems we can take away from most failed startups.
