I'm a strong proponent of learning with others. Here are two examples from physics and coding of the advantages of cooperative learning.
"People tend to reject what they imagine programming together would be like, but what they imagine is not the way group programming works."

@jetbrains is sunsetting the feature I use every day! Code-with-me will be removed, the way to do pair programming for remote teams.

Why does jetbrains keep pushing me away? First forcing their AI, now end of code-with-me. I need to look for an alternative replacement. #php #pairprogramming #remote #ide
I've been writing this piece on and off for around five years now. I've rewritten it a bunch of times. I think it is okay to publish now.

Does your organization prefer or maybe even force pull requests for reviewing and validating changes before integrating to a mainline? I have news for you: you’re engaged in quality theater and the only thing the PRs are doing for you is add cognitive load and delays while preventing you from finding better ways to ensure you’re shipping a quality product without delays.
Remote Pair Programming
🧑💻👩💻 No More Lonely Coding!
The wait is over. We just launched the Pair Programming section on #w3Develops! 🚀
Find a partner and learn together. 2 heads are better than 1 (and way more fun).

I'm writing an article and would like to verify a gut feeling.
Have you personal experience with using vibe coding (heavily automated development) in group settings, e.g. pairing or mobbing?
My gut is telling me we're moving away from that because we feel the computer is a fine pair, and generally people wouldn't pair where one person is prompting and then they both review output. But please let me know if I'm wrong.
Scientific research discovered that human brains “sync up” when we collaborate. Co-creation patterns in software development do really work. These new findings add to the existing pile of research that others like Laurie Williams have already done regarding pair / ensemble programming.
Collaborative rule learning promotes interbrain information alignment:
