Software engineers are problem solvers, and collaboration is key to solving problems quickly and efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While most coding schools equip students with enough coding know-how to land an entry-level role, many don\u2019t emphasize the technical and interpersonal communication skills needed to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/blog\/guide\/software-engineer-skills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">level up<\/a> in the software engineering industry. That\u2019s where coding school <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codesmith.io\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Codesmith<\/a> comes in. Codesmith incorporates pair programming into its core curriculum to produce mid- to senior-level software engineers with a diverse mix of technical and interpersonal skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-pair-programming-and-why-does-it-matter\">What Is Pair Programming and Why Does it Matter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Pair programming is precisely what it sounds like\u2014two programmers working together remotely or in person to write and review code. One programmer serves as the \u201cdriver,\u201d\u00a0 taking control of the keyboard and writing the actual code, while the other programmer acts as the navigator, vocalizing the code and planning the next steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only does this shoulder-to-shoulder approach produce cleaner coding solutions in a shorter time frame, but it also helps programmers develop technical communication, problem-solving, and collaboration skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s take a closer look at how Codesmith residents learn through pair programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"in-article\">\n<p class=\"cta-font\">\nPair programming has been proven to improve one\u2019s skills in coding, communication, and collaboration. Codesmith integrates pair programming into its immersive programs and free workshops to produce well-rounded software engineers.<\/p>\n<a href=\"\nhttps:\/\/app.codesmith.io\/coding-events?location=all&#038;series=Pair+Programming\/?utm_source=careerkarma&#038;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" class=\"cta-button\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Try pair programming for free!<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<br>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Pair Programming Works at Codesmith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because pair programming is central to Codesmith&#8217;s teaching style, it is incorporated into their Software Engineering Immersive programs as well as their free weekly workshops and introductory programs. In fact, many Codesmith residents encounter pair programming for the first time at Codesmith events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe first time I participated in pair programming was when I took <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codesmith.io\/javascript-for-beginners\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Codesmith\u2019s Javascript for Beginner\u2019s program<\/a>,\u201d shares Codesmith resident Leilani Hernandez, referring to Codesmith\u2019s short-form online course that covers JavaScript fundamentals. Codesmith alum, Allesandro Battellino, had his first brush with the exercise during one of <a href=\"https:\/\/app.codesmith.io\/coding-events?location=all&amp;series=Pair+Programming\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Codesmith\u2019s remote pair programming <\/a>workshops, which are free weekly events that hone participants\u2019 technical communication skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pair programming gives learners new ways to collaborate, and simulates what it\u2019s really like to work in the software engineering field. Plus, problem-solving with others helps Codesmith residents establish the skills and mindset they need to succeed in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.codesmith.io\/software-engineering-immersive#fulltime-options\/?utm_source=careerkarma&amp;utm_campaign=careerkarma\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" rel=\"nofollow\">Codesmith\u2019s Software Engineering Immersive Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Hernandez and Battelino, pair programming at Codesmith benefits residents in several ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It teaches residents to remain open to perspectives beyond their own.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Software engineers need to be lifelong learners, constantly adjusting to new software updates and team changes. Pair programming is an excellent way to learn how to collaborate with your team while developing new problem-solving skills and technical communication chops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pair programming at Codesmith cultivates this lifelong learning mindset by giving residents a chance to recognize the importance of learning from others and developing a growth mindset. \u201cIt\u2019s a chance to learn, either from your partner or as you work through problems together,\u201d says Hernandez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Battellino also says that he gained new perspectives through pair programming. \u201cBeyond technical benefits, pair programming has taught me the importance of empathy or the capacity to understand the feelings and motivations of other engineers,\u201d he shares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It sharpens their communication skills.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Technical and non-technical communication skills are among the <a href=\"https:\/\/careerkarma.com\/blog\/five-great-software-engineer-characteristics-codesmith-guide\/\">five qualities of a top-tier software engineer<\/a>. Pair programming helps cultivate these skills since it requires residents to clearly explain their thought processes while coding. The more Codesmith residents experience pair programming, the more comfortable they become with articulating their work and ideas with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPair programming has really brought new light to the importance of communication,\u201d affirms Hernandez. \u201cYou need clear communication to describe solutions to your programming partner. You need to be an active listener to capture your partner\u2019s ideas and translate them to code, and you need to be able to communicate your questions or needs for clarification.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It strengthens the Codesmith community.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working closely with another programmer is a great way for residents to get to know others in their cohorts and for any engineer to build their network through Codesmith\u2019s free, weekly workshops. For Battellino, regular pair programming has allowed him to \u201cmeet and connect with incredibly interesting engineers, which, in turn, helps me build and stay engaged with the community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hernandez adds: \u201cAs I\u2019ve worked with more folks, I\u2019ve also been encouraged by the amount of passion and drive from everyone around me. It\u2019s been a great motivator during some of the tough points in the curriculum.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Become a Better Software Engineer at Codesmith<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As the saying goes, \u201ctwo heads are better than one,\u201d and this rings true in software engineering. Building coding solutions requires collaboration, technical communication, and problem-solving\u2014all skills enhanced by pair programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hernandez shares: \u201cWhen I first started pair programming, I was so nervous and clumsily tried to talk my way through what now seem like simple bits of code. I\u2019ve grown a lot in my ability to technically communicate, read and understand large amounts of code, and partner with others in the process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you want to experience pair programming and become a better software engineer?
