Hm, yes maybe two. This type of project actually sounds like a pretty good fit for pair programming.<p>The assembly code is too small and tightly knotted to be able to usefully work on different parts simultaneously, but coding as a pair (given that it&#x27;s an intelligent person you can stand for 5 weeks of intense) seems to me it would have mostly benefits?<p>Maybe I&#x27;m overlooking something obvious, but isn&#x27;t the main disadvantage of pair-programming that it&#x27;s not <i>quite</i> as good as two programmers working in parallel (and thus wasteful of workforce)?
