I would actually join you, as my longstanding view on coding is that it is best done in pairs. Sadly humans and programmers in particular are not so ready to work arms-by-arms, and it is even more depressing that it now turns AI is pairing us. Perhaps there's gonna be post-AI programming movement where people actually stare at the same monitor and discuss while one of them is coding. As a sidenote - we've done experiments with FOBsters, and when paired this way, the multiply their output. There's something about psychology of groups and how one can only provide maximum output when teaming. Even for solo activities, and non-IT activities, such as skiing/snowboard, it is better to have a partner to ride with you and discuss the terrain.
