And today most people I know who mention it keep saying XP when they mean pair programming. Not as if it's one of many practices in XP, but as if the two were synonymous. Please tell me this isn't common.
People latch on to what aspect they don't like of a thing and it becomes synonymous with the thing itself.
With XP, sadly, this is true. Most times you bring up the XP practices individually, and they're "good ideas". You say XP, and they say "fuck pairing!"
