“The justification for the XP approach is based on two simple empirical observations: “We have seen master developers do these things” and “We have seen less proficient developers do these things and become better.”

“Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.”
Harold Abelson, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
