Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine.
It is an open-source engine for Javascript that runs in Google Chrome and Chromium-based browsers like Brave, Opera and Microsoft Edge to name a few. It compiles Javascript to machine code so computers can understand it and execute it, making it a ‘javascript runtime.’
A Javascript runtime means that Node.js is a program that is used to run and execute Javascript on computers, whether it be on the browser or in operating-system related utilities and software.
npm stands for ‘Node Package Manager,’ named that after it was first created as a package manager for Node.js. It is also a software registry. Open source developers from every continent use npm to share and borrow packages, and many organizations use npm to manage private development as well.

One of the biggest use cases for Node.js is running Javascript on the back-end on a server. It is also used for bundling Javascript files and dependencies into static assets, running test and automatic code linting and style checking.
I have found that I am able to learn from fellow programmers and become more efficient while pair programming.
Pair programming usually works with a driver and a navigator. The driver is the programmer that handles all the typing of the code while the navigator uses their voice to guide the driver, provide steps, input and solutions through research.
