I liked pair programming very much - although it was pretty exhausting the first few weeks doing it. At first, we did only 2 hours a day increasing the time every week. Personally, I found it more productive than two people working alone, mostly because of the fact that you and your partner working together: - Improves knowledge transfer - Reduces distractions (two people working together are seen as "busy" by others, while one single person is not) - Improves problem solving However, not every problem is made for pair programming. Working out an algorithm or implementing an RFC can be a pain :-)
