Experiences with Pair Programming?

Posted by Cliff on from the gemini-coding dept.

gmletzkojr queries: "I recently was able to engage in some Pair Programming for a couple of days. However, my experience was less than rewarding. I have read books regarding the subject, and all of the case studies show praise for the effort. I found my pair programmer a bit difficult to work with. Has anyone been in this situation, and what things can be done to work around the personality conflicts?"

    "Type foo"
    "What?"
    "There, foo"
    "Oh yeah, ok"

    "No, foo"
    "Oh right"

    "Oh for fuck sake.. FOO, the keyword is FOO"
    "Oh sorry, was thinking about something else"

    Pair programming is like watching a woman change channels. "You know what's on this channel, it's shit, keep going."
