Pair programming can be a solution. Your employer may fear you are slower than on your own but in reality it will vastly increase your productivity and make you feel better at the same time. Also the result will often be better than what you would have eventually achieved by yourself.

- argc 5y agoI have found this works insanely well for me.
- pydry 5y agoMe also, which is why it threw me immensely when I joined a team where they're somewhat dismissive of pairing. I realized that I'd been using it as a sort of crutch for a while. It not only motivated me it drew me out of my shell. It made me more willing to reach out to people i needed coz i was already in a "social mindset". It also made it easier to assess and take risks as a pair. Whereas alone I become somewhat risk averse and asocial.
- jp42 5y agoThis worked incredibly well in my experience for debug sessions.
- ojl 5y agoYes definitely. I had quite a long a period of procrastination a while ago, then suddenly a colleague called and asked me to help debug some issue he had problems with. That day the time went very quickly and we solved the problem together. I felt a lot better afterwards, not only because the problem was solved but also felt so productive. Sometimes I need a trigger like that to get out of procrastination mode.
