Pairs

While driving to work I realized something funny:

If I have to work on something, for example produce an article, I will write it, put it away and pick it up a couple of days later to look at it with a fresh mind.

Within our team we also (sometimes) practice pair programming. The idea is that two know and see more than one (the power of interdependence ;-).

Effectively these two practices are one and the same; in the first case you use yourself as the second person. Time will make you a different person than you were. The two practices differ in their usage of the dimensions time and resource. Tradeoffzz..
