Unlike most majors, Computer Science seems to discourage teamwork. Can't talk about code, can't share test cases, can't do anything with another person. This is strange for two reasons. First, every other science is based on peer review and, as I believe Einstein said, "standing on the shoulders of giants." Second, professional software development consists of nothing but team projects. Even so, programmers, myself included, enjoy developing alone, preferably late at night and in the dark. So it came as a surprise when the professor of my compilers class announced that we will work with a partner on four of the six projects this semester. I teamed up with Lee, and we spent the afternoon today banging out a parser for the first team project.
