10 x your teamwork through pair programming
summary
Pair programming shows a concrete workflow: using React components (App → ItemsList → Item), write failing unit tests, drive implementation with PingPong pairing, mock a removeItem prop, render a button and simulate click to assert removeItem called with the ID, then confirm deletion in the browser. They use keyboard-focused ergonomics, eliminate distractions, take regular breaks, and work from a short whiteboard plan; the delete-item feature gets implemented and tests go green with two keyboards one computer.
