Pair Programming Meme

Definitions

  1. A joke or stereotype built around pair programming, usually either idealizing it as magical collaboration or mocking it as exhausting forced socialization. In engineering slang, the meme sits on top of real variation in how well pairing is done.

    In plain English: A joke or stereotype about pair programming culture.

    Example: "The thread was full of pair programming memes, but the team still made the practical point that pairing worked best for risky onboarding and incident response, not every ordinary ticket."
