I like these threads because I enjoy reading other people's experiences. The article in question is a fairly weak take down of pair programming, for many of the reasons others have stated. It just sounds like the writer doesn't really understand the point of it and enjoys working alone. Pair programming definitely has pros and cons. The teams I've been on in my company have been very deliberate about when and how we pair program. Most of my experiences have been positive, especially in person pair programming. Pair programming over video calls is much harder for me.
