"The quest for quality software may require programmers to lose the cowboy attitude and learn to cooperate.
"Mansour Raad had a big problem. His start-up firm, DiscoverCast, was developing collision-detection software for the airline industry—mistakes in the code could cost lives. But money dried up after a first round of funding, and hiring additional programmers to finish a bug-proof version was out of the question... So Raad instigated a relatively new coding discipline called extreme programming."
Agile programming has been a hot topic in every major publication from the Economist to the MIT Technology Review. It's time to get on the bus!
