Wow, way to be hostile. These two were raising valid points in which I agree with. The article really does seem to have an attitude to it. He could have raised his point with implying almost every time that "my company is better than everybody else" kind of tone. Bear in mind that I'm not against pair programming, in fact, I want to experience that some time in my career (unless narcolepsy kicks in after being passive for so long).

I was lampooning the arguments of the article.
I didn't think it was all that subtle, but either I was wrong or it just wasn't funny. My apologies to anyone who misinterpreted it.

Don't worry, I didn't feel offended. If I make a mistake, it's mostly assuming sarcasm in stuff that's meant in a serious way, not the other way 'round.
You should have provided some flimsy anecdote, though, just to complete the emulation.

Not to speak for roc, but I believe the comment was intentionally written in the style of the original article, probably to mock it.
Maybe you failed to invest the proper amount of time in the article? Perhaps you didn't pay enough attention, because you're lazy? I suppose you might be too overworked and stressed out to get it? Could it be that you used traditional reading practices? Is your work environment not conducive to reading a top N list? It could be that your boss doesn't care about excellence, which is why he hired a twit...
By chance, do you have halitosis?
