This captures the essence of pairing as far as I'm concerned – it is a discipline of “programming out loud”. If you are feeling scholarly, Edsger W. Dijkstra - a Discipline of Programming. I think "A Discipline of Programming", " Formal Development of Programs and Proofs" or "A Method of Programming" by Edsger W. That being said, to continue with jslade's analogy, there are different disciplines in programming (just as there are in ninjutsu, and in sports). Dijkstra's 1976 book, A Discipline of Programming, explains a design process which is very clearly the origin of both TDD and Design by Contract.

The sole justification for discipline in software development and maintenance, is that it as it prevents defects. Art Basel also has its share of cross-disciplinary programming this year. #3 | Written by Jorge Aranda on July 12, 2011. That's not accidental — I think that, even in as fast-moving a discipline as programming, it takes time for a book to establish itself as a classic; and the really good books are timeless. In fact, Dijkstra should go at the top, followed by Knuth. Http://www.amazon.com/Discipline-Programming-Edsger-W-Dijkstra/dp/013215871X. On December 9, for instance, it presents a panel on “The Artist as Musician,” looking at how numerous international artists also perform music. And in fact, some of these disciplines are diametric.
