This short talk is about the benefits of pair programming.

Abstract

Let's face it, as researchers, we know that the best outcomes are produced when we collaborate with others. We can gain and share expertise, learn more, and challenge ourselves to improve. Then, why don't we apply the same guidelines of efficient collaboration to writing analysis code? Collaboration is a strategy in which multiple people work together to accomplish a particular goal; the best is that it can be applied to everything we do. Has the thought of 'cross fertilisation between industry and academia' crossed your mind? One of the ground rules of industry development teams is to 'not work alone'. In academia, we tend to work in silos or be solo drivers. In this talk, I will go through the benefits of collaborative coding and show examples of how it would help your research and give you a competitive advantage in the future.
