Always developers do their utmost when they are empowered and inspired, it means that when they are equipped with the tools and resources they need they will deliver better products and it will be faster. They are many methods that can help developers to be efficient in their work today, I am going to talk about pair-programming which is one method that boosts efficiency.

What is pair-programming?
Pair-programming is when two developers work on a project using only one machine, one works as a driver who codes while the other serves as an observer who checks the code that is being written and offer help where is needed. They switch roles after sometimes then the driver becomes an observer and vice versa.

Advantages of pair-programming
The pair-programming strategy has many advantages but lets me list some of them:

• Better code: This means when you are coding together it will be easier to detect bugs and errors compared to when you are doing solo programming and this will increase the quality of your codes because you might not notice how bad your codes are when you are alone but together you can share ideas to deliver the best work

• Time management: We can understand how quickly you can finish one project when you are working on it as 2 developers than when you are doing it solo. This means when you are 2 you don't spend much time on maybe one error because you help each other to figure out the issue than when you are working alone, which makes the process quicker and easier.

• Sharpen interpersonal skills: Collaborating on one project helps developers to develop and appreciate communication and teamwork.

• Creativity: When you are coding solo it is easier to stick to one solution that comes first to your mind, but when you are collaborating you will first explain to your partner how you think you can approach the issue, by sharing your idea your partner may disagree with your solution and share his/her ideas so this discussion might lead to more effective solutions.

• Sharing knowledge: When you are coding together everyone has different knowledge and experiences, collaborating will help each one to learn new things from each other

As a developer who personally used pair-programming I would encourage anyone to try it out it is so much fun and educative at the same time.
