Egoless programming is a style of computer programming in which personal factors are minimised so that quality may be improved. The cooperative methods suggested are similar to those used by other collective ventures such as Wikipedia.
Origin
The concept was first propounded by Gerry Weinberg in his seminal book, The Psychology of Computer Programming.[1]
Peer reviews of code
To ensure quality, reviews of code by other programmers are made. The concept of egoless programming emphasises that such reviews should be made in a friendly, collegiate way in which personal feelings are put aside. Structured walkthroughs are one way of making such a formal review.[2]
