it's great if you like to pair program every day. I get sick of pairing after about 3 hours. So it's not one-size-fits-all but I often meet people who can't imagine disliking pairing and try to convince me that my lived experience is somehow incorrect but theirs is accurate.
- jacques_chester 12y agoThanks for expanding. Personally, I agree with you: pair programming is not suitable for everyone. After a day of pairing I definitely want some quiet time. We recently had an energetic internal discussion about whether we are simply selecting for extraversion in our process. I suspect we're probably filtering out very strong introverts, but I've honestly seen a wide band of personalities. I've worked with men and women ranging from those who are chatty as I am, to the downright laconic. Some who want to socialise after work, to others like me who just want to go home for some personal time.
