> Within no time at all, I would be deliberately letting obvious bugs sail past just to avoid having to have interactions that I was finding to be increasingly mentally and emotionally taxing. This is 100% my experience. I don't do pair programming in any formal capacity, but do occasionally sit nearby while others write code. I despise telling people they're screwing up at the rate they're screwing up in real time, especially when I'm more senior and they're just not noticing things that I see immediately. Compounding this, I'm not great at quickly expressing myself verbally, and so it's not always clear what I'm pointing out. Even when I'm perfectly clear there's an element of a flustered typist trying to correct on the fly. Combine this with introversion and mild social anxiety, and I'd say if my workplace instituted mandatory pairing I'd be looking for a new job the day they announced it.
