Hot take: I used to swear by coding in solitude

Try swapping screens every thirty minutes when you pair up. We debugged a nasty API bug last week where I was stuck on syntax errors while my partner spotted the logic flaw in my loops instantly. You catch blind spots way faster when someone else reads your code in real time. What's the hardest bug you've solved with a partner?
