Ben Holmen started his Pair-amid scheme as an experiment in meeting new people and experiencing new code. He shared his calendar with the world, and booked pairing sessions with 15 complete strangers. The outcome? A bunch of new friends and new experiences.

In this episode, Ben and Chris talk about pair programming, side projects, and how to find fulfillment and social connection as a remote programmer.
