Pair programming

نتيجة بحث الصور عن ‪pair programming‬‏

The advantage of right  pair programming over lone programming is epic ,whole modules can finish in a matter of days .That other wise would take weeks only to debug.So how does this happen .

Basically a couple of developers work on one station ,one of them codes and the other contemplates ,then they switch sides every now and then ,one dev can use his right brain and the other his left .This has constructive implications on overall momentum of the project .As flowing inside code as well as contemplating about project goals are both essential to effective programming and clean code.

Not only is this faster but also the devs get motivated because both are thinking about the same problems ,also this decreases coffee usage by almost 51%,and overall workload by 60% .I had worked with a senior dev and coding hasn't been more effective ,we were able to finish the most complicated module in our project ,accompanied with its debugging and tests in less than a week .

Optimal Laptop Specs

  For programming there is an idea that the device optimally needs to be like a gaming laptop or have alot of processing power , when compiling really doesn't take as much from the developer's time as coding does . For programming specially for applications that aren't games the requirements of the processor doesn't have to be so much , in fact a low end processor like an i3 10th gen can be more than enough and I would even recommend because overheating is our real enemy since if the processor overheats , no matter how fast it is , the performance will go down quickly ; when we developers tend to stay for a long time , and most of that time isn't in graphically intensive tasks.  Quick access memory is equally important.  So here are the main problems I think we face  : - 1 - Over heating over a long period of time  2 - Slow access to memory ( internal and external)  3 - Eye pain 4 - High memory on the main disk

Supportive pair programming

Image
So its been sometime since I posted anything ,as I usually do it after compiling lots of related concepts . And yeah ,this blog is for sharing my new experiences and its updates. I've written a previous post with regards to the pair programming method were there is definitely an advantage for the overall work flow. But now that I tried it in a different setting,I think I've came up with a more detailed explanation of how this can be managed in a professional work environment. See, not all developers are friends ,even if they work on the same problem ,there can definitely be an incompatability in the way of thinking , when one developer comes up with a new idea ,if the mindset of the other is cooperative and his interest lies in resolving the problem then it would be supportive but if its a confrontational or self interested attitude of who finds the better solution,then it can be a disempowering and toxic relationship . It is understandable, not everyone is conditioned...

The marriage of Intuition & Logic

Image
Veiled Virgin" by Giovanni Strazza (1876) Fig 1  endless-column by Constantin-brancusi Fig 2 Today you can see examples of abstract or intentional art  , music sometimes carries a meaning and needs to get in line with a rhythm , same thing for coding , some programmers like to mess around with new ideas like myself , others try to just keep it within the rules even if their solution isn’t the best .  Both approaches have their pros and cons and need to be implemented if we want a holistic approach. I recommend you follow Collen Galen (a high rank top performer in coding competitions) , in this video he describes very well the relationship between intuition and logic and how he needs to put his intuitive ideas to the test by logic which takes time but is absolutely worth it . When I started coding I relied on my intuition more than logical representation of things like the problems , goals and the tests I needed to implement . This made all my initial work spaghetti like...
