Lessons from the Masters
summary
A two-year pairing project condenses real sessions into filmed 90-minute tasks that reveal concrete habits: the majority use Vim, one developer maps a keystroke to save and run specs, a UI designer sketches a solution in two minutes, a committer stops to add more tests, and others treat git as communication. Viewers see people delete and restart midstream, measure time vs. polish, and watch simple refactors and abandonments that actually speed delivery rather than abstract advice.
