Would any of you lovely #xpman regulars fancy taking over hosting duties for a few months?

(I have too much going on right now, so I won't be able to attend most months, unfortunately)

• When should we refactor -- all of the time, after finishing a feature, or before starting a feature?

Who knows what will come up this month?!

See you tomorrow at 0745 for more of the same...

• Should senior developers be allowed to write code? (or should they focus primarily on teaching and mentoring?)

• Has the software development world forgotten about XP's technical premise and the cost of change curve?

Quick update on yesterday's XP Manchester morning coffee meet...

We had seven attendees, so about half the number we've been getting previously. Nevertheless, the conversation was non-stop and extremely interesting, varied, and (possibly) controversial.

That's a lot to pack into just one hour!

Why not come along next month and have your say -- November 10th, 0745am -- https://t.co/E1hrQEVDP3.
