Against Extreme Programming
Book: Extreme Programming Refactored: The Case Against XP
by Matt Stephens, Doug Rosenberg
"XP suffocates programmers by taking away their office space and the air they breath and gives them a cattle atmosphere like the reviewer from California said. Let me quote from Steve McConnel:
Excerpt from Software Project Survival Guide [McConnell 1997] :
"Provide thinking-oriented office space. Software development is process of continuous discovery and invention. The atmosphere most supportive of that process is one that is relaxed and contemplative. Effective software development requires that developers achieve a level of concentration similar to that of a mathematician or physicist. "
