Pair programming has been a cornerstone of collaborative software development since its emergence as part of Extreme Programming in the late 1990s. The practice — where two developers work together at one workstation — has evolved through various technological shifts. Now, as artificial intelligence transforms software development, pair programming is experiencing its most significant reimagining yet.

The Traditional Model: Human-Human Pairing

Traditional pair programming involves two developers working in tandem: a “driver” who writes code and a “navigator” who reviews each line, thinks strategically, and spots potential issues. This approach has been proven to improve code quality, reduce bugs, and facilitate knowledge sharing.

For decades, the benefits of pair programming have been well-documented:
- Fewer defects in production code
- Better design decisions
- Continuous code review
- Knowledge transfer between team members
- Improved team cohesion

But this human-to-human model is now being augmented — and in some cases transformed — by AI.
