- swiley 7y agoFor really junior people and interns it’s nice. It’s probably not so great for everyone else.
- klyrs 7y agoI've found pair programming to be very effective for mixing two non-overlapping senior-level skillsets. For example, one person with deep domain knowledge but little experience in a particular language can pair with a language expert with little knowledge of the specific domain, to quickly produce a high quality solution in a fraction of the time as either could manage alone.
