None
Hows-its
Methods
Driver & Navigator One person writes the code and the
other guides the focus of the implementation
Ping-Pong Pairing One person writes the test and the other
writes the implementation. Then you switch.
Tools
Vim & TMUX Shared VIM buffers Persistent terminal session
git pair & git duet Allows for two authors/committers within
GIT github.com/pivotal/git_scripts github.com/meatballhat/git-duet
Online editor and terminal session Google Docs-like editing experience
But, I like my editor.
And, It may not be about you :)
Screenhero Two cursors, low bandwidth screen sharing, group sessions
1) Communicate (TALK!) 2) Simplify 3) Share 4) Empathize
