PairProgramming at home together with a visiting programmer. Benefits from PairProgramming at home: *You don't get lonely, which is often the main problem for telecommuters. *Other people (wife, kids, visitors ...) are less inclined to disturb you when you are two working together. *It feels more like "real work", so you are less inclined to be disturbed by other domestic tasks. *It is easier to set and follow a time schedule (to avoid over/underwork) *If you find a partner living close to you transportation time/cost will be low/nonexistant. *Rotating which home will be used as workplace creates a change of scenery. *You may encounter an opportunity to have a dinner with the family of your co-worker. Could maybe be called ExtremeTelecommuting? ---- You could imagine that a small team of programmers, living close to each other, could create a VirtualCompany and have all the benefits of both PairProgramming and TeleCommuting. ---- Is there a way to pair program over the internet?
