Summary

Vanessa believes that all computer code must be written by two programmers who collaborate at the same work station.

Vanessa’s belief is based on her assertion that collaboration prevents programmers from writing code that only they can understand.

Jo believes that the most productive programmers must be allowed to work by themselves.

Jo’s belief is based on two assertions: that the best programmers keep most programming projects afloat through their prolificness, and that these most productive programmers generally work better solo.

Notable Valid Inferences

The correct answer will describe an assignment that violates either Jo’s principle, Vanessa’s principle, or both principles. To violate Jo’s principle, the right answer would have to describe an assignment in which the most productive programmer on a team is forced to work collaboratively. To violate Vanessa’s principle, the right answer would have to describe an assignment wherein computer code is produced by someone other than a pair of programmers working at the same work station.
