To do it right, I understand, you would set up a single computer with 2 screens, 2 keyboards, and 2 mice. I’ve never done that, but on the cases where I’ve done a cheaper version of pair programming it was pretty useful!
What I got most out of it, honestly, was seeing HOW my partner coded, not just WHAT. I would pick up new keyboard shortcuts and so on. (My favorite text editors all incredible customizable.)
I also think the quality of code that we produced was better, because we would catch each other’s mistakes much more quickly than one would alone.
