Navigator

Navigator is doing the thinking about the direction we want to go, and then verbally describes and discusses the next steps of what the code must do.

Driver

The Driver is translating the spoken English into code.

If the Driver is not highly skilled, the rest of the team will help by guiding the Driver in how to create the code

Suggest things like keyboard short-cuts, language features, Clean Code practices, etc.

This is a learning opportunity for the Driver, and we transfer knowledge quickly throughout the team which quickly improves everyone's coding skills.

You are in a shared space, what you type actually affects the project. Narrate a bit as you are working to share your thoughts with your coworker. If more than one person is actively editing in the project, at least work in

separate files. Working in the same file is possible, but is as crazy and hairy as it sounds.

Close all file tabs in your window before doing any git-commit.
