Hi alchemists,
I’m looking for pairing partners interested in deepening their fundamental software development skills: SOLID understanding, TDD, Simple Design, Mocks/Stubs, Clean Code/Architecture, working with legacy code, etc. to practice katas together.
Lately, I couldn’t find enough time for deliberate practice and hope that having a partner will help move the needle 
Because software development is a social activity and is more fun when done together. Especially for people who work remotely.
I’m thinking about an hour - hour and a half sessions once in a few weeks.
Btw, a very dear person for me is developing a platform that will help to find a pairing partner. Please check it out https://twitter.com/joebew42/status/1285509411180556289 and give him feedback if you like it!

Just to refresh the topic - it’s all about deliberate practice which is a key to a mastery

Hey @lessless, are you still on the lookout for people with whom you can pair?
I’m interested, especially in the link you mentioned: Johan Montelius
I have a bit less than a year worth of experience and I’m looking for a better understanding of OTP/concurrency/parralelism with Erlang/Elixir.

Hey @ryanzidago,
Absolutely! Though I have time only for a 2hrs session once in a week or two.
Right now we are working on Elixirized version of Mars Rover kata, with an approach similar to outlined in Functional Web Development with Elixir, OTP, and Phoenix: Rethink the Modern Web App by Lance Halvorsen.
Afterwards I’d happy to pair on anything from Johan Montelius
