pair programming

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.

Why pairing - http://www.shlomifish.org[..]n/opinion-on-the-technion/#why_pair_wise

Pair Programming smells
- Unequal access
- Keyboard domination
- Pair marriage
- Worker/Rester
- Second Computer
- "Everyone does their own work"
- 90% of work 90% done
- People who can't stand to program together
- Debates lasting more than 10 minutes without producing new code
