Strong-Style Pair Programming
Strong-Style Pair Programming
About the Book
Pair programming is fun and engaging, and while it may make you slower, it also effectively takes best of the both into the work being done resulting in better code and better programmers in the long term.
A pair driving a car together has usually trained together, share a vocabulary and while striving for the same goal, they have their own tasks to do.
In strong-style pairing, the foundation of the tasks is that the idea (and high-level control) of the task is not with the person on they keyboard.
In traditional-style pairing, the idea is with the person on the keyboard.
For strong-style pair programming we say: "Take the keyboard, I have an idea" and navigate the implementation on highest possible level of abstraction. The review happens with the person on the keyboard, on their terms and pace as it flows through their hands.
Strong-style pair programming is particularly well suited for engaging uneven pairs and people new to pairing. Is your style intentional or accidental?
