I’ve been working in programming for a few years and I think I really dislike Pair Programming; I understand how it is but I often find it mind-numbingly dull. I have a feeling I’m doing it wrong but I feel like as a part of a dev team tasks should be broken into discrete enough chunks that a single person can just blitz through the work… Maybe it’s just me, what are y’all thoughts on the matter?
Not at all. I find it useful for certain tasks, but I’m a huge introvert and spending a long period of time with someone physically exhausts me to the point where I can’t muster coherent speech or thought. Depending on the depth of thinking required too, it’s often better for me to do that individually then bring my findings to someone else to validate.
