Claude Duet / Pair Coding

“Claude Duet” is shorthand people use for pair-programming with a Claude-class model: two minds on one problem — yours for intent and taste, the model’s for speed and draft volume.

Claude Duet / Pair Coding illustrated intro
Three beats of a coding duet: stuck → draft together → you steer.

The loop is simple: you describe the goal and constraints → the model proposes code or a plan → you run, read, and correct → repeat. The “duet” metaphor emphasizes turn-taking, not autopilot.

Easy to mix up

You still own merge decisions, reviews, and incidents.
