I've heard conversations that this same idea would probably help in every profession.

And a couple Mormon developers I know, think that the concept of a personal Holy Ghost, which is a belief of the Ladder Day Saints church is the same kind of assistant for moral decision making. We all perform differently when we know someone is paying attention.

I think you meant Latter Day Saints. If there are any Ladder Day saints (supposedly there is a Ladder Day[1]) I'm guessing that Mormons wouldn't hold as much reverence for them, what with the alcohol involved.

Oh man... I won't be editing the typo so that I can be properly shamed.
That's such an interesting comparison! I kinda love the idea of Pair Programming with Jesus
