Brown-bag session: eXtreme Programming

Sep 2, 2015 - 1 minute read - Comments - brown-bag-sessionextreme-programmingclientxp

At a client, today I’ve introduced the eXtreme Programmig methodology, with its values, principles, practices in a brown-bag session.

It has been an informal session, without slides, but we have used this video by the Kleer guys (in Spanish).

The video gives a high-level overview of what XP is. We also needed to cover the daily practices (e.g., TDD, pair programming, whole team)

After that, we’ve done a questions&answers round to solve the teammates' doubts

Disclaimer about AI/GenAI

As of 2026-05-06, the text in these articles and blog entries has been written without AI/GenAI, except I sometimes use a spellchecker to fix errors. Think Word's spellchecker, not ChatGPT.

Notes, as of today (2026-05-06):

  • No code snippet has been automatically generated, nor vibe-coded, nor generated and reviewed.
  • I don’t have any article with AI contribution.

For future entries:

  • I may have used GenAI for the code in the repo. The code I exemplify/copy in the article will always be reviewed and tested, not vibe-coded. I will specify it in each snippet or at the top/bottom of the article.
  • I normally don't use it for the text contents, although if I have used it for the article text, it would be indicated as such.

Any entry before 2026-05-06 does not contain any AI/GenAI.
