Pair Programming Harmful?
There was an interesting article over on tech crunch today. It discussed Harvard and Professor and surgeon Atul Gawande’s recent TED talk. It also goes into arguments on whether pairing is better or worse for creativity. Very interesting article overall. … Continue reading
Application Analytics
Mighty Moose is nearing release. One of the new items that we have built into it is some user tracking. The user tracking is extremely benign (we are tracking some various usage scenarios of how people are using the software). … Continue reading
