Catch up. Write code - Managing your backlog

Lets chat about your experiences with different PM approaches. Everyone has a strong opinion of the follow:

Is XP BS? Is continuous deployment unrealistic in the real world? Does anyone really do SCRUM / Kanban? What's the ideal team size? Are there any PM tools that you actually like using?

The million dollar question

Would you guys be keen to do beer and pizza instead of coffee next month?

The premise is: write code together, or at the very least, show each other code. We'll try to keep the catch up at the beginning of the sessions to a minimum (20 minutes or so), and spend the rest of the time getting down to some coding!
