It's a clickbait title, but he does also address the benefits of pairing. He does highlight the importance of not always pairing. He does not say not to pair.

It's a clickbait title, but he does also address the benefits of pairing. He does highlight the importance of not always pairing. He does not say not to pair. I think what would alleviate most of his issues is having frequent breaks. 10 or 30 minutes here and there all day, or even an hour before resyncing is essential. Especially now with remote pairing. I think opt-in pairing is bad. It essentially means, rarely pair apart from on hard things which is not pairing. Opt-out is better. Then for some tasks you don't have to pair, whilst for most you do. Or go full mob programming and allow people to come and go.
