pair programming is very high leverage — you don’t just get the immediate task done, but also teach someone to be able to do it themselves

I wanted to take a minute to debunk Reddit's claims, and talk about their unwillingness to work with developers, moderators, and the larger community, as well as say thank you for all the support 💙 reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comme…
