Possibly dumb question, but... why do orgs need specific pair programming policies at all. Why can't you just ask questions and help each other as needed?

- borplk 5y agoI know I'm going to get jumped but let's be real it's a cult behaviour that originates from the cult of extreme programming ("XP"). Some of them advocate for 100% "mob programming" (3+ people working together). Doing it on a "as needed" basis is common sense and doesn't need a buzzword name either. It's what people have always been doing. But to push for 100% of it is insane and insulting to the individual.
