Pair programming is the practice of programming together: Two people, one computer. It can sometimes result in incredible productivity, quality and fun. Other times, it can be boring and slow. 

This talk takes you on a journey through good and bad pair programming patterns and anti-patterns and explains why pair programming can benefit you and your company when it's done right.
