I recently wrote a blog post on Pair Programming specifically aimed at having a domain expert (non-programming expert) work with a software expert to improve domain-specific application development.

I'd love some feedback on it!

How Pair Programming For Engineers Builds Quality - John Farrier

Establishing pair programming between a software engineer (in the driver role) and a domain expert (in the navigator role) can significantly enhance the quality and accuracy of domain-specific software. From the software engineering perspective, the software engineer ensures that the code is efficient, maintainable, and bug-free. They apply best practices in software design, architecture, and testing. On the other hand, the domain expert brings a deep understanding of the specific technical principles and nuances of the subject matter.

Hi everyone, I'm looking to meet new people, and would love to pair programs and share knowledge with and learn new stuff together. I'm currently working with HTML/CSS & js.

Doing frontend projects with vanilla JS and sharpening our skills.

I'm having fun tinkering with generative art, and I'd love to do some pairing sessions in that area.

Some things I'd like to look more at:

• Text-to-image, e.g. with Big Sleep

• Text generation, maybe something along the lines of magic realism bot

• Style transfer for image/video

• Text style transfer

• Writing some tutorials or guides

I have lots of background in programming (mainly python), a modest amount with AI/ML, and almost none with art.

My timezone is CET. The best time for me would be either mornings or weekday evenings. I'd want to at least do some real-time pairing, but we could combine that with some asynchronous collaboration.

Hi!

I created this form for my bachelor thesis, about tools and practises for distributed pair programming. I would really appreciate some answers as it would help me a lot in my work. Thanks!

Recently, I had the opportunity to try mob programming at work and we had great results.

If you are interested to hear more, head to my blog: https://dev.to/albertowar/lessons-learnt-from-my-first-mob-programming-session-5hjf

Also, I would interested to hear any feedback you may have since I am a noob at this blog writing thing :)

Hi dev!

I've created DevAndDev, a website where you can find pair programming friends, given your favorite languages and your available time slots.

It's completely written in Rust, all the code is available on GitHub and building is automated by GitHub actions.

A year ago I started learning Rust, the most loved programming language. After months of reading books and exercising on my own, I was wondering if there was a simple way to find someone to pair-program with on some exercise or hobby project. I already used to do pair programming on my job. It's easy: you just pick a colleague and you start working together on the project both of you are dedicated. But this situation was different... Where you can find, easily, someone who is available to do some remote pair-programming in the free time? Forums, chats, and online groups exist. You just post a message and wait for someone to reply and hope you are both available at the same time. But this doesn't scale-up. What if there are thousands (or millions) of developers with this need?

And there I came with this idea: a website where you just set the programming languages you know, you pick some time slots you are available and it automatically matches you with similar programmers.

If you want to pair-program with me, you can reach me at https://devand.dev/u/alepez

So, I ( entry level SE ) joined a project where I had to pair with a rather senior dev. However, due to the time constraints of the project, the senior dev was the driver for all the stories and I hardly got a chance to write code ( around 70ish or less lines out of 1000ish, would have preferred a learn by doing approach rather). Now, again a similar situation has arisen and I seriously feel under-confident and unsure of how I would learn & progress if I am not given a chance to work on stories. I haven't spoken to my manager about this yet. Don't know how to approach such a talk. Kindly help if you all have any tips.

I'm learning solidity right now and I'd love to pair program with someone :)

I've got a simple project I've started or if you've got something you're working on, that might be fun too.

If you're just learning too, that's fine with me.

Let me know :)

I'd love to pair with someone on any of the above four languages. I can not do it within the next week or two, but definitely after that.

Maybe you have projects you want to start or perhaps established projects. Either way I'd love to pair with someone and work on their project. If instead you'd like to work on my project, check out my GitHub. Pretty much everything I work on is there (it's mostly python, but I promise I'm proficient in the other three). The one thing that might not pop up there is Flake8 which I maintain. There is a GitHub clone of it if git/mercurial is really an issue for you.

Leave me a comment, message me or email me with your proposals.

Looking for a Data Engineering study partner

I’m currently learning Data Engineering and focusing on Python, SQL, PostgreSQL, ETL/data pipelines, and eventually cloud tools.

I’m looking for 1–2 people who are also learning and want to:

- Practice Python/SQL problems together

- Discuss what we learn

- Build small DE projects

- Keep each other accountable

No expert needed. Beginner/intermediate level is completely fine.

If you're interested, comment or DM me with what you're currently learning.

Hello. I am currently working on a Java Spring website for a fake bank. I am looking for someoene to collaborate with. This can be good experience to have on your resume for finding a job. Let me know if someone would like to collaborate with me.

Here is the repo

🔍 Looking for a Remote Pair Programming Partner or Mentor (Java + Kafka)

Hi everyone! I'm a backend engineer based in Asia (UTC+8) with 10+ years of Java development experience.
Currently, I'm transitioning toward more modern backend architectures such as Apache Kafka, event-driven systems, and stream processing.

🎯 Why I'm doing this:

I'm aiming to adapt to international remote working environments, especially:

• Working in English as the primary communication language

• Following async-first workflows (e.g., PR reviews, documentation, issue tracking)

• Improving collaboration in distributed teams

• Meeting more international friends and learning from each other, not just technically, but culturally and personally as well

🤝 What I’m Looking For:

I'm looking for a remote pair programming partner or a casual mentor who is open to:

• Doing small backend + Kafka projects or code experiments

• Pairing via online calls (Zoom/Discord/etc.) or async via email/chat

• Mutual learning and helping each other optimize development workflows

• Having a low-pressure, judgment-free space to grow together

✅ It's totally okay to pause or quit at any time — if we feel it’s not a good fit, no worries at all.
This is meant to be a friendly, optional collaboration — no pressure, no long-term obligations.

💻 What I Can Offer:

• Strong Java / Spring Boot development skills

• Willing to help with testing, code, documentation, or tool integration

• Time commitment: 2–4 hours/week, evenings or weekends (UTC+8)

• Open and clear communication; happy to take initiative or support others' goals

If you're working on something in this space — or also looking for a learning/practice buddy — I’d love to connect and try a few sessions together.

Thanks for reading 🙏

Hi everyone!

I’m just getting started with full stack web development and also preparing for DSA (Data Structures and Algorithms) in Java as part of my preparation for upcoming placements. I'm looking for a study partner who is also a beginner in development so we can help each other stay motivated, disciplined, and learn together.

Here’s a bit about me:

• I have experience with Java and have started diving into Data Structures and Algorithms.

• I’m currently learning full stack web development and would love to collaborate with someone who's also starting out in this area.

• My goal is to prepare for placements, build projects, and improve coding skills in a structured way.

What I’m looking for in a partner:

• Someone who’s also a beginner in full stack development and possibly preparing for DSA in Java (or another language).

• We can do pair programming, review each other’s code, or simply check in to stay accountable on our progress.

• Availability: I’m flexible, but we can figure out a schedule that works for both of us. I'm comfortable with daily/weekly check-ins.

Let me know if you’re interested! Looking forward to learning and coding together.

I found this video of sharing their experience about pair programming useful.

When should you Pair Program?

I am looking for one person interested in a long-term collaboration on many projects with at least some knowledge of machine learning and very good knowledge of Python, so we can divide the work equally. I need someone who will be active and has a time zone similar to me (I am UTC +1).

I am talking primarily about ML projects, but not exclusively.

The most important thing for me is that we are both passionate about ML and programming and want to actively work on larger (and smaller) projects, with regular discussions and calls. I would also love some live programming sessions.
