Pair programming

General information. Short summary:

  • Two people in each pairing session is ideal, three is ok
  • Virtual is possible, in-person is better
  • There are two roles:
    • Driver: The person with their hands on the keyboard+mouse
    • Navigator: Watching, asking questions, making suggestions
  • Timing:
    • Switch roles every 15-20 minutes
    • Time driving should be shared roughly equally
      • Err on the side of the person who's less confident having more time driving
    • Take breaks every 30-40 minutes
  • Both people are sharing one screen; put other devices away
