Pair programming or mobbing are a huge waste of resources.
I know that myself I can't actually get anything done unless I'm in control.
The only use this sort of this could have is to train juniors or hand over projects.
- lolsal 5y ago> Pair programming or mobbing are a huge waste of resources. Likely for some, but not all cases. Pair programming at my shop had a weird positive multiplier effect on velocity/delivery. It was optional and about half the team did it. Different folks work differently, we aren't all productive in the same ways.
- stnmtn 5y agoDo you think that this is true of every programmer, or that there are people who do experience increase in productivity from pairing?
- mgaunard 5y agoWe all have our own set of values. Myself I value independence and self-learning, so I would be inclined towards having a negative opinion of people that require the constant assistance that pair programming provides.
