Pairing is Caring Avdi Grimm (@avdi)
Have you ever...
...been new to Ruby/Rails...
...and felt a little lost?
...been a sole or remote developer...
...and felt isolated?
...used a new library or technique...
...only to realize six months later that you did it
all wrong?
...felt like other developers are a little crazy?
...wanted to do more for the community?
A Suggestion
Pair Programming
Got that t-shirt already?
Pair widely, pair often
Pair Remotely
Reasons to Pair
Instant Code Review "I was still on the fence until
we had a couple weeks at work where only one of us was there... and I lost 2.5 hours on a typo" -- Steve Jackson
Sanity Check "If you can convince your pairing partner that
breaking a rule would produce better code, have at it." -- Sandi Metz
Moral Support
Talk to the Duck
Stay on target
Fresh Perspective
The Experiment
Consulting Pair- Programmer
60+ Partners 250+ Hours
Mostly paid sessions
1 OSS Session/week
This was my job (And would still be, if not
for RubyTapas)
Reasons for Sessions
Newbies
Help with a specific problem
Most commonly of all...
"Help me grok TDD"
The testing gap
Crossing the gap
Mechanics
2 hours
Scheduled in advance
Work on their project
When you care, it's easier to learn
Hardware
Headset
Separate Comms
Software I used: • YuuGuu (screensharing) • Skype/GTalk/Google Hangouts (voice/video)
Also look at: • Tmux: tmux.sourceforge.net/ • Wemux: github.com/zolrath/wemux • Tweemux: github. com/PeopleAdmin/tweemux • ls-pair: github.com/livingsocial/ls-pair • Screenhero: screenhero.com/ • etc...
Getting Oriented
Taking Notes
Navigator/Driver
Why should you care?
Because you should do it too!
Newbie? Learn how others think through problems
Isolated? Get validated and re-energized
New tech? Get started on the right foot
Cynical? Feel better about yourself and others
None
The Pairing Ecosystem
Genetic Diversity
Memetic Diversity
Pair widely, pair often
The tech is a solved problem
Who would you like to pair with?
Just ask
Would you pair with a stranger?
A challenge
Pair with someone new once a month
Put out a welcome mat
http://pairprogramwith.me
None
Link it to a way to contact you <a href="mailto:
[email protected]
"...>
or...
Let the world know
"Want to #pairwithme? Get in touch!"
"Just finished #pairingwith @avdi!"
Let's make our community healthier and happier
Happy hacking!
