For more than 15 years, my colleagues and I at the Software Improvement Group (SIG) have been in the business of evaluating the quality of code, architecture, and development practices for our customers. Recently, we dove into our assessment data to discover—and quantify —trends in software development, each time comparing 2016 to 2017.

Fetishizing pair programming. If you were involved with professional programming in the 80s and 90s, you may remember how radical it was (and, in many shops, still is) to put software developers in touch with users and customers. It’s not about getting software developers to write code faster. What is modern Agile? Neckbeards?

Today, this makes concurrency more important than ever, because it delivers two things: It hides latencies we have to deal with and cannot remove, from disk I/O latency to speed-of-light network latency; and it makes our code responsive by not introducing needless latencies of our own even when we’re not hiding someone else’s latency.
