Comment on: I put this here, 'cause I know v/Programming will "approve." The James Webb Space Telescope is going to run JavaScript (PDF Warning) (No, they aren't kidding.)

Who did this? Why do this? So many languages... So many options... And they pick JavaScript.

Comment on: Pair programming: Why it is a bad idea.

Honestly, I can't disagree with any of this. But, I admit that I like other programmers to show me their process and techniques so that I might learn from them. Of course, this isn't really pair programming, it's just the only good thing I ever got out of it while in school where they pushed it.

Maybe I was an unusually receptive newbie, but I did find it helpful way back when. And an advanced programmer could still probably teach me a ton.
