My experience is that it's best when it happens organically. Enforcing this sounds like a punishment.

- furrowedbrow 5y agoAgreed. I think pairing basically amplifies the team chemistry, for better or worse. If you have down-to-earth developers who like to learn and teach and generally get along, pairing will be amazing, but if you have know-it-all devs desperate to be right and show how smart they are, it’s a disaster. I paired for a year in the latter environment and it was miserable.
- dkersten 5y agoI had a very positive experience pairing for 11 months, but yes, it was a team of just two of us on the project, we got on well, and we were the ones who decided to try pair programming. Nobody forced us to or told us to.
