Dijkstra talks about this problem in detail in one of my favorite books, "A discipline of programming." Also, here's an article with a surprisingly simple recursive solution: http://nicolas-lara.blogspot.com/2009/01/permutations. What I write about computer programming applies to other fields of problem solving, such as engineering and mathematics. As a result Alistair sees Crystal as requiring less discipline than extreme programming, trading off less efficiency for a greater habitability and reduced chances of failure. Programming languages are intolerant of error in grammar or syntax. Does it really matter what the code looks like? TDD is a discipline for programmers like double-entry bookkeeping is for accountants or sterile procedure is for surgeons.. It matters because ultimately writing code is about discipline and details. I think there are a large number of people in the JAP category who are there because programming is considered a discipline unto itself, with its own career path.

I think for some reason computer programming is often miscategorized as a discipline to study or a class to take that's only relevant for aspiring software engineers. Didn't Dijkstra suggest in "A Discipline of Programming" that each program should come with a mathematical proof of it's correctness so that it was by definition bug free? - Uncle Bob, The Pragmatics of TDD. It's important to remember that all programming languages require a discipline that most of us don't have. This captures the essence of pairing as far as I'm concerned – it is a discipline of “programming out loud”.
