Pair Programming Patterns

Pair programming patterns refer to different ways two developers collaborate when working together on code. Common patterns include “Ping-Pong,” where partners alternate writing code and reviewing each other's work; “Driver-Navigator,” with one person actively coding (driver) and the other guiding with suggestions (navigator); and “Strong-Style,” emphasizing shared knowledge by each person typing and understanding all parts of the code. These patterns help improve code quality, promote learning, and increase efficiency by encouraging continuous communication and shared ownership of the work.
