I am not sure everyone has the same idea of pair programming. I have never done it but it simply seems like: 2 people solve a single need. How? "Deploy personal + company resources as appropriate to get the job done together" - however they damn well want to in that framework. It is between them. The pair could: Use a whiteboard for 5 minutes every 3 hours and go their separate ways otherwise. Sit together hunched over a single laptop. Work from two entirely separate locations with collaboration software so they can see each others cursor and typing as they voicechat. I mean, isn't it all about simply getting along and getting a job done?
