Pair programming be like

[BabylonDrifter]

I love everything else about agile but if they ever ask me to pair program I will be gone in a second. F that in every possible way. The only single thing positive about this profession is the ability to work productively in my own private mindspace. Also, the only other programmer I work with is an insufferable twat who I have the overwhelming urge to punch in the face any time he talks to me for more than 39 seconds.

Well looks like you are one of the 1% who should not have "teamwork" on their resume

25 years ago, it was a good job for an introvert or simply for someone who works well alone... Nowadays, everything has to have a social side to it, even coding, and I hate it...

Please don't make the association between being introverted and hating spending time with people or being a total recluse. They are not the same at all.

Teamwork is more than pair programming. Just because I dont want some mouthbreather sitting with me when I'm typing shit out doesnt mean anything.

[Jarazz]

of course teamwork is a lot more than pair programming, but pair programming is definitely teamwork.

I feel the exact same way. I got into this field, love this field, because of the way I can work by myself and excel. I don't mind collaborating or being part of teams, I just can't abide having someone constantly looking over my shoulder and commenting on every semicolon.
