most valuable practices that I get the most resistance from both managers and developers. Managers tell me they donât want to loose half their âresourcesâ but pair programming isnât taking turns at the computer, itâs bringing two minds to bare on tough problems. ï® When pairing, problems are solved faster, with less code, fewer errors, and costs only 15% more dev time. Pairing is the fastest way to propagate skills across a team. People who pair are less likely to be interrupted, stay on task, support each other in doing the right things, and are constantly learning. ï® When I finish a day of pairing Iâm exhausted yet supremely satisfied. And this is why you managers should support it. ãã¢ããã°ã©ãã³ã°
