My experience pair (and mob) programming for the past months has been very positive, both with in loco and remote peers (sometimes mixed). New hires feel they get a lot of context faster, and experienced peers feel it improves quality, as it forces code to be understandable. I believe it's instrumental that the entire team is at peace w/ some working agreements to make it work: - Splitting work between pilot/guide(s) (otherwise, it turns into a monologue) - Rotating roles often - No pressure to stay or having to leave for a while - Have adequate installations (quiet space, standup desks, large screens, 40"+ displays if possible, ambient sound for remotes to join in the session) - Naturally leads to egoless programming
