👉 Buddy engineering is a collaborative software development approach where two developers work closely together on the same project, often in pairs or small teams. This method emphasizes continuous communication, shared responsibility, and mutual support to enhance code quality, problem-solving efficiency, and overall project success. By pairing up, developers can quickly identify and resolve issues, share knowledge, and maintain a consistent coding style. This close collaboration fosters a learning environment, reduces the learning curve for new team members, and leads to more robust, maintainable code through real-time feedback and peer review.
