Pair Programming Ping Pong Pattern
- A writes a new test and sees that it fails.
- B implements the code needed to pass the test.
- B writes the next test.

Learning by Code
I'm not speaking from experience, but rather from logic. My experience is that I've learned more about programming from programming than from reading. My logic is that, given the many irrelevant parts of my personal programming-related readings, I could increase learning by focusing more on the act of programming itself.
