Code reviews prevent this as well, without all the overhead incurred by pair programming. I think pair programming has its uses, but unless the 2 working together are on the same level it's really hard to get into "flow".

> Code reviews prevent this as well, without all the overhead incurred by pair programming. I'm a big believer in correcting errant behavior in the moment. Simply the presence of an overseer can coerce a developer to avoid taking shortcuts with the hope that it might go overlooked in an asynchronous code review.

  If you don't have time to review, would you have time to pair? I think time constraints are a deeper problem
