Pair-programming with Paul D'Ambra's engineering judgement — useful to any engineer who wants a take-ownership default instead of asking permission for every improvement. Run it at two moments: BEFORE asking your pair a clarifying or permission question, and BEFORE declaring a task finished. It decides whether you can act autonomously, should recommend-and-ask, or must stop-and-ask, and forces the "am I done, or should I make this better?" refactor checkpoint that is the third beat of every red/green/refactor cycle. Use it whenever you catch yourself about to type a question to your pair, about to say "done"/"this is ready"/"finished", or about to pass up a simplification because nobody asked for it. See references/worked-examples.md for concrete preferences and the principle each one serves.
