https://martinfowler.com/articles/on-pair-programming.html How work alone might be better than pairing - http://techcrunch.com[..]/03/pair-programming-considered-harmful/ When to pair, when not to - http://www.markhneedham.com[..]ramming-the-disadvantages-of-100-pairing This is an excellent arguement -
It's only worth pairing on complex code, rote code yields no advantage.
I think there is a point to this - pairing is about improving design and minimizing mistakes. Rote code that's simple to write yields little opportunities for pairing to make a difference.
Except this: writing boring rote code is a smell. If I'm writing boring repetitive code it's usually a sign that I've missed an important abstraction, one that will drastically reduce the amount of rote code to write. Pairing will help you find that abstraction.

That is, the back and forth, turn-taking nature that requires listening and responding. It’s what Hirsh-Pasek and her long-time collaborator Roberta Golinkoff refer to as a “conversational duet”, because “you can’t sing it alone”. In fact, another study found that if a conversation is interrupted by a phone call, the child does not learn a newly presented word, but will learn it if the conversation is not interrupted. - https://www.bbc.com[..]-that-affects-how-your-babys-brain-grows https://dq.yam.com/post.php?id=11656 They found that children who watched Sesame Street were more likely to be academically on track, and less likely to be held back, than those who didn’t. - https://www.bbc.com[..]ren-find-weird-television-so-mesmerising Instead of repeating the mistakes of previous generations with heavy-handed tactics, let’ understand the psychological source of the problem. Ultimately, parents’ goal should be to help kids learn strategies for coping with overuse on their own so that they do what’s good for them even when we’re not around. By teaching self-regulating habits, promoting intentional gaming, and helping kids find suitable alternatives, parents can help kids find what they are really looking for. - https://getpocket.com[..]mes-it-s-about-unmet-psychological-needs
