Pair Programming

Truinboy: https://flic.kr/p/5pkYiv Everybody in the Ruby community says they love pair programming. We often use it as a proxy for the awesomeness of a developer shop. Developer candidates regularly ask me if we pair as part of their attempt to determine if we know what we are doing. I wish we’d cut that out. Pairing is not a proxy for how good a development shop is. Pairing is also not, in my experience, a great tool for increasing team productivity and code quality.
