10x your teamwork through pair programming
summary
Claims tenfold team productivity by demoing TDD on a React to‑do: write app.test.jsx and item.test.jsx, add a remove-item callback prop, add a DOM button in Item, run tests until they pass, and verify deletion in the browser. Uses concrete techniques—ping‑pong pairing, a shared keyboard/mouse setup, running the test suite and committing (including a gag lolcommit)—and shows the feature implemented and working despite frequent real‑time distractions.
