## How to act in the rest of the team
2+
3+
4+
### Be intentional.
5+
Communicate the intent.
6+
Be clear about the why to the typist.
7+
A smart typist with system knowledge might already start implementing just with the why.
8+
9+
### Be concise of location.
10+
Communicate location using absolutes like file names, class names, or line numbers.
11+
Avoid relative location like "move a little bit more up; no, that was too far, go down a little bit more, ...".
12+
13+
### Be polite.
14+
It's not what you say, but how you say it.
15+
So say "Can you go to line 45, please?".
16+
17+
### Be patient.
18+
Be patient when giving the typist commands.
19+
*You* are responsible that the typist feels comfortable.
20+
21+
### Be unobtrusive.
22+
Accept the freedom of the typist.
23+
Before giving advice, make sure the typist is open for it.
24+
A typical example is when the typist is doing a refactoring manually and you know how to do this with IDE functions only.
25+
Tell the typist you have a suggestion on doing this differently, and ask them if they would like to know it - but be prepared to accept a no as an answer.
26+
27+
### Be inclusive.
28+
Make sure that you don't dominate the *rest of the team*.
29+
If you realize you're talking too much, you might be leading by giving command over command.
30+
Think about switching to *lead with questions* instead.
31+
Asking questions will automatically reduce your talking time and opens space for others to join in and share their solution approaches.
32+
33+
### Be emphatic.
34+
Make sure everybody in video call is okay.

Don't go for the famous last words of "let me finish this real quick".
