Definitions

  1. Working on code together in real time, often with one person typing and the other reviewing, questioning, or navigating. Code pairing is used for onboarding, debugging, knowledge transfer, and difficult changes.

    Example: "They turned the production issue into a code pairing session so the fix got reviewed continuously instead of in a rush at the end."
