Everyone inherently knows this, that's why they reach out to others when stuck on a bug (see also rubber-ducking). But why is it so hard to convince individuals and organizations of the benefits of pair programming?
- bogrollben 4mo agorubber-ducking and pair programming have wildly different investment costs
- jsbg 4mo agoAre you saying the reason people don't like pair programming is because it's considered more expensive than it's worth?
- BurningFrog 4mo agoDoing pair programming well is a skill you have to learn from someone. Putting two regular programmers together in front of a computer will typically annoy both and not accomplish much. I was fortunate to learn from experienced people, and I've had very good experiences with it.
