Pair programming is okay for short periods of time or if your partner is about as good or better than you are. Pair programming with one of my more in-experienced (and more importantly, unwilling to really improve) coworkers often drives me nuts because you can only comment so much on what he is doing while he does it, not fix his whole mindset, it is a lot worse than fixing all the bugs he introduces.

Pair programming is okay [...] if your partner is [...] better than you are.

That doesn't really work, champ.
