That sounds good. I didn't know that modern scum like collaborative programming, but it makes sense.

When the modern scum took over my department at my last workplace, one of the first things the head scum did was he held a meeting where he said that from now on, for any project that anyone wants to work on that has an estimated timeframe of more than a half-day, we need to submit a written request to form a "team" for the project, which needs to be approved by him. In the meeting I asked if some "teams" might consist of only one person. Then one of the head scum's henchmen responded saying that his feeling would be no, because all work is better when done collaboratively. Then the head scum responded saying that he agrees with the henchman scum.

Then a month later, when they shut down my project, the main reason they gave was that my code was bad because it wasn't written collaboratively.
