Pair programming happens either between peers with more or less equivalent skills to get more eyes on the code, or as a way for a senior developer to mentor a junior. After working five years you should be past the point of needing constant mentoring or overview of your work.
There's no trick. After five years you should be pulling your own weight when pairing, and you should be able to do the same work without a pairing partner.

- gregjor 5y agoI can’t give specific advice based on what you wrote, not knowing you or your abilities. I can’t imagine not knowing how to code without a partner. Your post and comment communicate lack of confidence in yourself, so you may need a mentor or a manager who can break tasks down for you and supervise and review your work.
