It’s interesting working for a relatively big company - my new gang are a lot more organised than SI, and I’d say that on the whole the development team are more experienced and more open minded, which has a good effect on the overall quality of the coding.

I’ve got a way to go though before I reach nerdvana. This place, on the other hand, sounds a lot closer to the way I’d like to be doing things in an ideal world.

I’ve made a personal commitment to doing as much unit testing as I can on my code, regardless of what anyone else does. It’s pretty tricky to do pair programming though, which is what I’d really like, unless we all commit to it. I haven’t actually asked, but I think I can guess what the answer would be…
