This is how Artsy and I work during the 2nd half of the day. She's really a great partner to do pair programming with, always enthusiastically endorsing my craziest ideas and also silently taking the blame for many of my blunders.
"Yuck, who wrote this code? Was it you Artsy?" -- her face with a guilty look on it (it was actually me).
"Did we normalize that vector before taking the cross product?" -- blank expression telling me exactly what I need to know.
Artsy is also great at letting me know when it's time to take a break. I'm not sure what her official title would be, maybe Software Engineering Cheerleader or Assistant Software Engineer?
Ben & Carl do some pair programming at the GVS Bolt Factory office in Denver.
Carl operates the keyboard while Ben works the trackpad.
For my first go at Get Pushed I was partnered up with Stacie, who has plenty of beautifully composed and processed shots in her stream. She also seems to be something of a Get Pushed veteran; go take a look.
She came up with a great exercise for me: "My challenge is for you to make a photo using cloning. I don't see any on your stream, and thought that might be a fun thing for you."
Cloning involves taking two pictures of the same thing (preferably something unique) in two different positions, and then merging the images on the computer. Best attempted with the help of a tripod.
Working out what to do here was half the fun. I make web sites for a living and spend a lot of my time pair programming with other developers. We share a desk and computer, working together on the same problem. We share the typing, work on the design together, and change roles frequently. I've always wondered what I'm like to pair with, and this is as close as I'm likely to get.
I'm quite pleased with the results (I think it's rather fun), but I can't help wishing I'd bumped the exposure up a bit more. I think I'd have spotted this if I'd tried the B&W conversion before merging the layers. Once you've spent plenty of time getting your layers "just so" you really don't want to go back to the beginning and start shooting again!
This was Stacie's response to my push:

Two guys in separate cherry pickers can apparently coordinate *really* well, with handing off cables and alternating use of power tools - I wonder if they train in teams, or if there are just priority rules or something. (We were all fortunate that the weather in the morning after the storm was beautiful, but there was still a huge amount of cleanup and reconstruction work...)
I have so much to write about my classes but one thing I truly love is seeing students working together. Learning (and coding) is a social process.
