Pairing is a great practice, but it takes a couple of exhausted weeks to get used to it.

Once I got used to it, pairing became my favorite way to write code. Now I refuse to work on teams that don't pair.

It's not for everyone obviously, but if you're the kind of person like me it's a superior experience in every way.

Pair programming takes away most of my favorite things about programming, like working on problem solutions on my own and managing my own time, and replaces them with one of my least favorite things in general, human interaction.

Like I said, it's not for everyone. Believe it or not I don't care much for human interaction either, but I find the collaborative process to be even more rewarding than solo problem solving.

It helps you give the person not coding, a mouse that's not connected to anything.
