We do a bit of pair programming and pair reviewing from time to time. It’s helpful for quick knowledge transfer: Reading and understanding code is much more efficient when the author walks you through it and explains some decisions on the spot. Also helpful for review: a different set of eyes can sometimes catch design/logic inconsistencies much quicker than yourself or any tool. It’s not that we can’t code ourselves. Pair programming and review is another _thing_ entirely that has unique and useful applications.
