Week 3 - Blog Posting #6 -Communities of Practice

     This week I was reading about a standard practice among programmers. It’s called pair programming. Two programmers work as a team to provide timely results with a minimal number of errors. The pairs switch and take turns writing code and checking each other's work. Breaks are taken every twenty-five minutes. The team works to "examine logic behind the code and check for mistakes." Programmers have used this process for years. Why isn't this type of teamwork seen in other industries? Doesn't social media promote this kind of teamwork albeit on a mass scale?
