I agree wholeheartedly. We've started doing some pair programming. In addition to making the code better, we've also found that it serves as a form of training, helping us to learn coding techniques from each other. For small startups where you need people to fill multiple roles and new people to get up to speed quickly, it's best to teach as much as possible. Finally, training is also a great source of team-building and motivation. When people leave the perks of a big company to join your fledging startup, you can offer them the satisfaction of learning new skills and taking on new responsibilities.
