Baby-sitting myself

How the *hell* do I manage to keep N% supervised while she's programming?

Coding, sure, that's easy. Have her out, and have a trace monitor out so "I" can snap back when we're interrupted.

But when working in a group? And trying to explain our thought-processes to them while we haven't quite got it yet?

Oy.

There's a reason I hit the whiteboard so much: I can draw what they're talking about, and not have to use the words.

Since the sum total of my experience with multiples is... well, you, this may be a stupid question, but wouldn't a faster version of what you do when coding, work? If you could put N% and Joan Prime in rapid rotation, N% could cover the programming, but not the explaining-to-others, right?

That's what I *want* to do.

Actually implementing this is slightly more tricksy
