(Remote) Pair programming
summary
Remote pairing is demonstrated live over TeamViewer + Skype by solving the String Calculator kata with TDD, showing a working red‑to‑green cycle and a 10+ minute session. Cited research reports 15% longer, 50% fewer bugs when pairing; benefits listed include continuous review, knowledge transfer, and feedback on the order of seconds versus months. Practical notes: use coding dojos/code retreats to practice, watch time zones and exhaustion, prefer short switches or ping‑pong and schedule Pomodoro breaks.
