I'm a strong proponent of learning with others. Here are two examples from physics and coding of the advantages of cooperative learning.
As a side-effect of this, I got to experience "AI" coding assistants.
I am staying away from that tech because it is a net-negative societally, environmentally, legally, ethically and all-around, but my coworker is using it (with encouragement from management who are in love with the idea).
So #Copilot pops up in our #PairProgramming sessions.
I have to admit the code and commit message suggestions it makes are surprisingly good. It helps. If you ignore the big picture, it would be tempting.
On the tooling side, we are not using any special #PairProgramming software yet, and I have a hunch that we won't.
You can get very far with very little friction with just screen sharing over a #Slack huddle. We can talk to each-other, both see what the "driver" is seeing, we cannot type into the editor at the same time, but the "watcher" can draw on the screen.
For months, a coworker had been bringing up #PairProgramming at our sprint retrospectives, so we tried it out this sprint.
So far, it is fun and also efficient/productive.

@leyrer „Es ist verrückt, dass etwa 9,5 Prozent der Softwareingenieure fast nichts tun und dennoch Gehalt beziehen“
Bei uns sind es sogar 50% ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ #PairProgramming
How can TDD & Pair Programming enhance AI-assisted development with Copilot?
This blog explores how these practices help catch "AI smells," improve code quality, and ensure reliable software delivery: https://ter.li/toel3d
Attempted a pair coding session for the first time to drill into an old tangled code and it was successful. Best rule I take out of this - have clear objectives. Being clear that "we see if and want can we improve at all" was the key to come out with "something" and call it a day. #pairprogramming
Looking forward to listening to @gvwilson and @yabellini at https://pairprogramming.ed.ac.uk/winter-school-25/ #ComputingEducation #PairProgramming #TheCarpentries #TeachTogetherTech
i'm running a ~6 hour pair programming, test-driven development session for our dev team. i feel like too few organizations ever pause forward production and invest in training/practice.
Remember, I have a live session today about pair programming and beer! 
I’ll be enjoying a cold one, and I hope you can join me too! #PairProgramming #DevLife
It's going to be in Spanish, so if you're a fan of my sexy Spanish voice or just happen to know the language, you won’t want to miss this!
Join us on Friday at 5:30 PM PST. Amin is in Mexico, and I'm in Seattle! #GlobalTech #PairProgramming #Spanish #TechTalk
I thought the managers denying #PairProgramming were an urban legend. Until the team I built to pair got one of those managers after me. Ticket per person, preapproved permission to pair on anything as a rule. 
Had a great time at https://www.ada.fu-berlin.de/ !
#DigitalHumanities #CodeReview and #PairProgramming - such an important (and often neglected) part of our work.
Many thanks for organizing and facilitating!@lipogg, @vji, @codiceps; @freieuniversitaet and @DigitalHistory
