Pair programming is an attempt to take two good programmers and turn them into one great programmer. If you hire great programmers in the first place, it is unnecessary and wasteful.
- jon_dahl 17y agoThat depends on the difficult of what they're developing. Boilerplate code? Two great programmers are a waste. Moderate difficulty? Maybe less efficient than working separately, but they'll still work a bit faster, produce fewer defects, transfer knowledge well, etc. Really complex problem? Not a waste at all.
