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?

    It can vary. At its best, it’s a good way to share knowledge.

    But even when it’s useful, I find it incredibly draining. I can probably only do it for a few hours before I just stop being able to manage it.
