Robert,
Well i have, and my experience is that the ONLY place i saw it work is
the GNAT team. It works very well at ACT in fact, but you have a very
atypical bunch of folks to work with. The ACT folks are all at the top
of the curve for their respective levels of experience. I am in fact
doing a kind of audit for a large software project in the avionics
domain where this approch is one of the primary reasons this project is
in so much trouble. yes everyone works on everything, but the other
side of the coin is no one is really expert in anything. everyone is
constantly doing a learning curve! i agree with your point that there
are projects where only a single person can modify key pieces of code,
i have been there as well. Thats why the folks i work with do
walkthroughs, read each others code to learn new techniques etc. there
is a middle ground between the two extremes. What is important is for
people to be pragmatic and blend both approches!
