One Computer
None
None
Not-its
NOT: Cuddle pairing
Not: Passive Pairing
Impact
1) Code Quality 2) Knowledge Sharing 3) Focus 4) Accountability
5) Redundancy
1) Fewer Mistakes 2) Integrated Training 3) Greater Efficiency 4)
Less Management 5) More Security
But, I work better alone…
And, It may not be about you :)
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
