Hey! You're a senior programmer! You want to mentor that new person, and what better way than to pair up with them on some programming? There's all kinds of advice out there on different ways to pair program, and you have a ton of wisdom to impart. But you're worried: what if you overwhelm your junior dev? How can you make this a good experience for them? Let's talk about some ways that might help, and some things to try if things go off the rails.
Kisha is a Lead Software Engineer at Modern Logic. Things she loves: digging into client use cases, figuring out how business logic turns into code requirements, learning yet another programming language (even if Kotlin is still her favorite). She still likes to use the appropriate tools for the job such as React-Native for apps & Python for data science, and she liked the fancy sander for smoothing off edges enough that she bought one for herself. Don't ask her about flying planes because she won't shut up about it.
