Pair programming – you'll never guess what happens next!

JosephEngels

It's probably a useful tool for neophyte programmers learning the ropes, but when I'm in the zone, I can code more efficiently than I can speak. I have been forced to try this idiotic method on two occasions, neither have turned out well, with mostly a "please, just shut the fuck up while I get this down" ... which basically lasted for 4 hours, by which time the pair has lost interest and usually glazed over, or it boiling with so many "why the hell did you do that?" questions ... its simply unworkable for experienced programmers.
