# Read Advancing with Vue 3 > Pair Programming and answer the following questions

# What is Pair Programming? What are the roles and how do they work?

Pair Programming is two programmers sharing a single workstation to code.

  • Driver - the programmer with the keyboard
  • Navigator - focus on overall direction, working it out.

# What are some benefits of Pair Programming?

  • Increased code quality
  • Better diffusion of knowledge
  • Better transfer of skills

# What are some drawbacks to Pair Programming?

  • both programmers must be actively engaged or there can be setbacks.
  • it can sometimes double cost - when work is done in the same time only 1 person does it.
  • the driver is expected to keep up the running commentary. if they are silent, then that leads back to the last bullet.
