Pascal Van Cauwenberghe has written a series of "Things I didn't learn" blog entries that relate experiences he had pre-XP with XP practices and principles. He has a slyly self-deprecating style that exposes a problem/solution with some element of surprise to it. There is conflict, mystery, adversity, and challenge in the situations he describes.
Check them out.
Part 1: The incredible shrinking program [Continuous Refactoring]
Part 2: How many points for a soldier? [Agile estimating, planning, and volunteering]
Part 3: Backup soldiers [Pair programming/soldiering]
Part 4: I'll take this task. I'll take that task. [self-organization, volunteering]
Part 5: One for the road [working just on the features that fit in the time-frame]
Part 6: Into the heart of darkness. And back again. [refactoring supported by automated testing
Part 7: The one without a bug [pair-programming/code-reviewing reducing bugs]
Part 8: Running on empty [sustainable pace]
