In-Depth: The Costs And Benefits Of Pair Programming
Description
We are fans of pair programming. There is something very satisfying about passing the keyboard back and forth and sharing the mind space for a problem with someone else. But other developers hate it for various reasons. Some find it wasteful. Others wonder if the quality isn't just the same, or even worse, than solo developers.
We believe we should ground our opinions in evidence as much as possible. So what does scientific research have to say about pair programming? In this episode, we explore the insights from over 25 academic studies that investigated pair programming. The insights may support your beliefs or challenge them - let's find out!
