It’s not always the best fit for a particular task, but I’ve personally had some experiences where pair-programming was a huge productivity boon, as it prevented potentially difficult to diagnose bugs from being committed in the first place. I personally feel it shines when you are working on something very complex and particularly detail-sensitive, where a small mistake could cause a devious bug, and so the benefits of having a second set of eyes on everything in real time are large.
I’m curious to hear what you dislike about pair-programming.
- seanhunter 5y agoI think it really is complete agony for some people, and when I've seen it in practise, certain people really benefit and others just don't. Speaking for myself, when I'm working on something complex and detail-sensitive, the very last thing I want to do is spend any time at all with anyone else. I want to be able to think properly about the problem without the pressure of having someone else involved.
