Doubting pair programming until a Tuesday in Austin changed my mind
I always figured pair programming was just buzzword stuff for corporate teams, not for solo learners like me. Then my study buddy and I tried it for 2 hours on a simple React bug, and having someone narrate their guesses out loud caught a typo I'd glanced over 5 times. It felt slower at first, but we shipped the fix in half the time we'd each spent alone. Has anyone else found that explaining your code to another newbie works better than any tutorial?
