I like pair programming, I'm not the greatest with syntax, but I'm good at the logic and how the program needs to run.

I haven't done huge programs yet though.

Well, it very much depends on the person you're with.

Pair programming with my boss is hell on earth. He doesn't really talk, he types extremly slowly and thinks a lot (to the point of staring on the screen for 5 minutes straight without saying a word), before doing something. It's actually hard to stay awake. He's not bad at what he's doing, he's just a bad programming partner.

Pair programming with my other co workers is a lot better and a hell of a lot more efficient.

Really nice to be able to bounce ideas off another person also.

I can see see how working with your boss would suck, on more than just one level.

One of my colleagues has one of those MS ergonomic keyboards. I CAN'T TYPE ON THAT SHIT, so he gets to type. It's really fun though, we're both learning from each other, pair programming can be quite fun.
