I work at a place where we do exclusively pair programming (a software consultancy). A project always has at least one pair.
Each workstation has a computer, 2 monitors, 2 mice and keyboards. When someone can't be at the office then we sometimes use Tuple, and it's a great tool, unfortunately still only works on Macs.
Pairing works for us because it's more efficient than working alone, less bugs and better thought out design, faster spread of knowledge about our tools and the project in general. I joined a year ago and hadn't used Java or IDEA, pairing helped me learn all of it very fast, compared to if I had to work alone and struggle with learning all of the new things.
- meken 5y agoWhich company do you work for? I researched pair programming companies a while back and didn’t find any.
- calderwoodra 5y agoLarge consultancy, pair programs all the time, Java... I would guess Pivotal
- DLion 5y agoPivotal doesn't exist anymore. It has been acquired by Vmware and now it calls Tanzu Labs: https://tanzu.vmware.com/labs https://tanzu.vmware.com/labs Btw there are many other companies where you can pair: Thoughtworks and Codurance for example
- skeletal88 5y agoNot Pivotal or a large consultancy, I'm from Estonia but the company is Codeborne - www.codeborne.com they have been doing it for 12 years soon.
