This is an odd false dilemma you’re presenting here. I don’t think that GP was claiming an essay along with the code is a good option or an indicator of great code, and that’s certainly not the only other option than self-documenting code.

That definitely makes a lot of sense, and I also value the balance between hashing out an approach together and the silence and focus that thinking at my own pace allows. I've never worked at a job with permanent pairing and don'

I noticed you mentioned before that you are currently a company founder; was your full pair-programming experience at a previous job? Was that what it was like, and were you forced to work with an individual in which that was the dynamic?

This is such an interesting approach. I’ve read about this at Pivotal, and it’s interesting to see how it’s described on their blog vs Glassdoor. I greatly enjoy working with another engineer to solve an especially tricky problem, but onl

I may be missing something here. Given that i is incremented in the loop, wouldn't the truth value of (i < a.length) change? Or do you mean the two other checks (a is an array and i>= 0)?

Usually ShareLaTeX and a healthy amount of Googling! I also try to find a similar document I can work off of. In this case, I had already done similar column-business for my actual resume, which definitely helped.
