Why pair program?


                “Good full-time pair programmers
                consistently produce higher-quality
                code faster....”
                                —Jim “Big Tiger” Remsik



Wednesday, August 15, 12
This is not a new idea.


                   “in pairs... progress is faster, we
                   can work longer without losing
                   headway, and quality is higher.”
                                         —Ron Jeffries

The key to
                             good pairing.
                           “Focus on
                           the code.”

It takes work.


                           "Pair programming makes developers work
                           harder than they've ever worked before in
                           their lives." — Jim “Big Tiger” Remsik
