I been working full time now about 15 years and I think Martin Fowler's blog and especially articles like this do more harm than good. Typically I find Pair Programming pretty pointless for most tasks. Where it works is when one developer knows the code base and another knows about the new piece they are trying to implement e.g. something external they are interfacing with. Much like other subjects on Martin Fowlers blog, it will get picked up by some which will religiously adhere to it and not consider where it will be best suited.
