Google CEO on pair programming..

Recently, I read an article on Business Week. In this article Google CEO Eric Schmidt describes the simple principles that helps the company drive innovation.

In this interview, he mentions that the best programming team is a “telephone call,” which is two people, you and I, programming together. Sounds familiar! He is describing the pair programming.

He goes on to mention that the second-best programming team is, everybody fits into a single room. All other variants are bad. Do I hear co-location here?

There you have it! Even Google CEO is promoting pair programming and co-location.
