Should we revisit Extreme Programming in the age of AI?
SMRTR summary
Despite AI-powered acceleration in code generation, software delivery outcomes remain poor. Extreme Programming (XP), with its deliberate constraints like pair programming, offers a valuable counterweight to unbounded acceleration by prioritizing learning and alignment over raw output. As AI tools make code production effortless, XP's focus on simplicity, communication, and feedback becomes even more crucial for ensuring teams build the right solutions rather than just more solutions.
