Yes I too am an introvert. But saying pair programming doesn't work with introverts is not quite right. Introverts are not no-talkers, they like talking about stuff that they love. They don't come out and talk, but are truthful if you ask questions. So as a programmer introvert, I love discussing about programming, new tools and languages, etc.
Its OK if you hate Pair Programming. Its even OK if you hate it without even trying it. But just don't generalize it with being an introvert.
- bdcravens 13y agoThis works when it works. But when it doesn't, it can be challenging. If you tend to be paired with those who are argumentative, it can be a bristling experience. Or if you're a 9 and you're paired with a 4. (whether it's true or in your own head, it's the same effect)
- ismail 13y agodon't confuse being shy with being an introvert. Introversion has nothing to do with enjoying talking to people. it is actually about where you get your energy... for e.g do you feel exhausted after a day of social interactions and need alone time? or do you feel energized and are ready to hit the town? introverts would typically need aone time off to 'recharge'..
