"code - compile - check" - I'm assuming that you are talking about coding/algorithm bugs.
What I'm saying is, lets say you want to find a way to update a web page with live data(http push?). Then you do a brainstorming session with others and get some ideas(comet, bosh, xmpp, etc). If you want to see which technology fits your product most, then it would be a good idea that each person is spending time on different ideas.
"brainstorming" is completely different from "coding together", specially coding a hack.
- aaronblohowiak 17y agofor bugs, i find rubber-duck pairing tends to get most of the advantages of pair-programming. for the c-c-c, i was just meaning toying around with new code "ideas". I suppose parallelizing approaches is a good optimization for a certain class of solving strategies, but I was more meaning to imply that your coworkers may have insight into other things (one of my coworkers is all about python, another used to do natural language stuff and i happen to have a degree in psych, so we all bring a different perspective to the same problems, and that is useful.)
