Comic Strip Title: "Extreme Programming"

Summary:

The comic strip, originally published in 2002, features Dilbert and his coworkers discussing a new programming system. The conversation begins with Dilbert's coworkers expressing enthusiasm for the system, which they describe as "extreme programming." However, Dilbert's skepticism grows as he learns that the system will require him to work with a partner for 40 hours a week. He is further dismayed when he discovers that the new system is a minute old and everyone already hates it.
