Well done that man

It's attracting some easy cynicism, but I can't see David Milliband's blog as anything but a good thing.

We've taken some babysteps toward pair programming here at work. The key thing holding us back being that we don't do much actual development, and that we work across so many projects it's rare for two people to be assigned to anything.

Even so, reading things like this makes me think we need to take the plunge sooner rather than later.
