Does IEEE Xtreme have anything to do with Extreme Programming?
No, not really. Apart from the fact that we sound similar, there’s little in common: Extreme programming (or XP) is a software engineering methodology, we are a programming contest. Of course, Teams are entitled to use any methodology they want to solve our problems: XP, Scrum, classic waterfall, cowboy programming, voodoo enchantments, or type away randomly until it compiles. Pretty much anything as long as it works correctly.
