053: Pair Programming

Start Over Coder

Pair programming is a productive way to write code with other people, and often used as an interview tool as well. I've been incorporating pairing into my study plan recently, and here's what I learned! What is pair programming? It's two people writing code together, and sharing one computer to do it. One person is the driver: their hands are on the keyboard and they are talking through the code they write as they write it. The other person is the navigator: the navigator takes a ‘big picture' approach and reviews the code as it's being written, stopping to ask questions or offer guidance based on what the driver writes. During the pair programming session, you would periodically switch so that each person sits in both roles several times. The main idea is that with two heads working together, the code will be better than if just one person was working alone. Here are the biggest benefits and lessons I've found so far in my pair programming experiences: You see another way to approach solving problems. It could be better, it could be worse, or it could simply be different. Regardless, you can learn something by seeing multiple ways of doing something! It's easy to put pressure on yourself to start writing code even if you haven't thought it all the way through yet, just because there's another person there watching. Instead, take advantage of a second mind and work together to create a full plan before actually writing any code. Pairing is a unique experience that you can only practice with another person! Make the effort, it's worth it. Since you're may work more slowly as a pair, take any environment obstacles out of the way before starting: dedicate a set amount of time and make sure you have a good internet connection (and backup plans). Regardless of who is the more experienced coder, it's beneficial for both people to work in both positions?the driver and the navigator. Make sure you switch off regularly! If you're learning how to code (on your own or otherwise), I would highly recommend working some pair programming time into the mix! It might be intimidating to start, but these benefits and more make it worth it in the end. And if you don't live in a busy area or can't get yourself to a place where other people are up for pairing, don't discount the option of finding a pair programming partner online. My experience was great—I'll include some links to open communities where you can look for a pairing partner in the list below. Show Links: What is pair programming?

102. Whether or Not to Repeat Yourself: DRY, DAMP, or WET

Code[ish]

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 15, 2020


Robert Blumen is a DevOps Engineer at Salesforce, joined by Ev Haus, Head of Technology at ZenHub. Together, they're going over a critique over several methodologies when writing code as part of a large team. First, there's DRY, which stands for Don't Repeat Yourself. It's the idea that one should avoid copy-pasting or duplicating lines of could, in favor of abstracting as much repeated functionality as possible. Then, there's DAMP, or Don't Abstract Methods Prematurely, which is somewhat in opposition to DRY. It advises teams to not create abstractions unless they are absolutely necessary. Last on the list is WET, or Write Everything Twice. This is the idea to embrace duplication whenever possible. Ev notes that, like many programming absolutes, the success of each strategy depends entirely on the context. DRY, for example, sounds like a really good idea, until it happens everywhere. Suddenly, a chunk of code becomes difficult to reason, as a developer jumps around various method definitions to piece together a flow. DAMP often makes sense as a counterpart to DRY, because if you abstract too early in your codebase, you may find yourself overloading methods or appending arguments to handle one-off cases. DRY is typically best suited for testing environments, where an absolutely reproducible set of explicit steps is often preferable in order to quickly understand what is occurring. No matter the strategy you use, the core tenant is to solve the problem first. Try to accomplish the goal you need to, whether that's adding a feature or squashing a bug. Don't over optimize until you've finished what you need to, and don't think too far into the future about all the possible edge cases. The rest of the balance comes with experience. Some duplication is bad, but not all of it. Figuring out the absolute perfect solution is unlikely, so you've got to put the code out into the real world to find out what works. After that, bake some flexibility into your processes to adjust hot code paths or refactor them when needed! Links from this episode ZenHub is an agile project management tool for GitHub Wikipedia's definition of DRY "Using DRY, WET & DAMP code" is Ev's article on different coding methodologies Codewars is a website with programming puzzles and challenges The Pragmatic Programmer by Dave Thomas is a popular book highlighting some of these concepts DRY code, DAMP DSLs by Jay Fields and DRY vs DAMP in Unit Tests by Vladimir Khorikov are more write-ups on the subject

The most effective way of learning for me was just failing over and over again. Being in a place where you don’t know anything and where you have to force yourself to learn. In this episode of Nat Chat, I’m joined by Bekah Lundy. Bekah started off as a student of The University of Minnesota, where after a year, she started to get into web development and realized normal college just wasn’t for her. She left and went through a coding boot camp called Turing. Seven months later, she started working as a developer for a start-up called Apto in Boulder, Colorado. Bekah’s story is a great example for those who are wanting to leave a traditional career route to pursue things that they’re actually passionate about. We cover a wide range of topics, including: Self-educating yourself Finding the confidence to stray from the traditional career path Learning to program and code Using failure as a way to accelerate learning Being passionate about your work Turing, the effective coding boot camp And much more.

Haseeb Qureshi is a Texas-native who dominated the poker world and decided to pursue his dream of becoming a software engineer. He started playing poker at 16 years old and was able to turn $50 to $100,000. He eventually became one of the world’s best no-limit hold-em poker players at 19 but he was not fulfilled. So, Haseeb left the poker world and decided to start over from scratch by giving all of his money away. After hearing about coding bootcamps from a friend, he decided to break into tech and join App Academy. Haseeb learned quickly, became an instructor after two months, and eventually became the Head of Product. He really wanted to work as a software engineer and his recruiting process was tough. On this interview he shares how he got his position at Airbnb by applying lessons from poker and proving that with confidence, deliberate practice, negotiating skills, and an altruistic heart, you can always rise above any challenges you meet along the way. Key Points: 1. When you’re trying to learn something,you need to give yourself feedback when you make a mistake. This is the idea of deliberate practice. Try to find the smallest possible thing that could be critiqued and then get feedback on it and then try to iterate on it. 2. The biggest difference between boot camps is not the curriculum, the teachers, or the network. The biggest difference is your peers and the rate of intensity with which you’re going to be learning around them. 3. When facing rejections, remember that you have no control over things no matter how good you are. Also, pain is transient. You might feel awful today but you will feel better the next day and the next, until you can barely even remember. Besides, people can’t say no forever. Consider plugging into your network for job search referrals throughinformational interviewing. Reach out to anyone in your network, sit down with them, ask them about their company and experience, and get referrals. 4. A large part about negotiation is power. Be mindful of it, where it comes from, and how to maintain it. Have leverage in your negotiations by having the ability to not accept it because you have another offer. Interviewers can’t read your mind. It’s not a zero-sum game.
