Jeremy D. Miller -- The Shade Tree Developer

Under the hood and working with .Net, TDD, Software Design, and Agile Stuff

Important Tips for Pairing Etiquette

1.) If your a backseater, wait until the driver gets off the line of code to yell at him for a typo

2.) When you're pairing, change your IM status to "Pairing with Bob" so your wife doesn't IM you with embarassing terms of endearment.

3.) If you want me to pair with you, I really, really want you to have ReSharper & TestDriven.Net. VS2005 is basically naked without.

Why Testdriven.NET if you have ReSharper? What does Testdriven.NET do that ReSharper 2 doesn't?

I know the test running is crude, but I actually like TestDriven.Net outputting the text. Plus, I love being able to double-click from the stacktrace right to the line of code. I'll use the ReSharper runner occasionally just to see real green & red.

It might just be that I'm much more used to using TD.Net.
