Pair programming stinks, always has always will. Its another mindless initiative managers come up with because some person in the organisation who subscribes to the Agile cult (there is always one) wont stop going on about it.
Like most things Agile, it treats the developer as a child who cant be trusted to get things done. It's grade school where teacher tells you it's time for 'pair programming', yeahhhh. Usually it's at the worse possible time, and it's just another distraction in days filled with distractions that stop you doing anything meaningful.
If people need to work together, they'll do it naturally like any ordinary adults who are asked to complete a task.
- commandlinefan 5y ago> most things Agile, it treats the developer as a child Hey, don't blame "agile" for that - blame the bastardization of what managers who live to treat other people as children (or more likely as "subjects") have turned a decent concept into.
- calsy 5y agoAgile is manager centric analytics tool that attempts to measure the ‘intangibles’ of development. This is done through rigid conformity to process. Excessive deliberation over design and breaking down of tasks gives the managers the info they need for the ‘higher up’s’ and the ability to better micro manager there subordinates. It’s brilliantly sold as a way to assist development, while focusing on the concerns of management.
