During pair programming in our company, I am the one who usually ends the conversation the most. Usually I think my thought process. My partner sits in front of a computer and performs encoding (input?). I encourage others to think out loud, so I won’t teach my partner what to do.
I have the most experience in our company (almost all of my employees have their first job in this company), so I think that most of them are afraid to speak during the session. In the end, I feel like I participated in a training session instead of pair programming.
Is it normal for one person to do most of the conversations during pair programming? Does anyone have any tips on encouraging participation during pair programming?
