Great list! Really good amplification. I’m guilty of 1 and 21. I think pair programming must start from this list.

Really good list. I suffer from different mistakes depending who i’m pairing with.

One of my worst habits is not on your list:

Hey, thanks for putting up that list. It’s so funny how you can identify yourself doing those things on occasion (hopefully rare ones). Plus, it’s a good list to share with those who’ve tried pairing for some time but are still trying to get used to it.

Heh. The one I used is digital, which helps a lot. Still, there was definitely a feeling of pressure at first. It was useful pressure, though. 10 minutes is a much shorter period of time when you have the keyboard. :-)
