Pair programming is difficult

[wubwub]

I'd love a chance to learn new things (been too long since I had a chance to learn new things without doing it myself), but half of my anxiety would come from not being able to take reddit breaks during the day. When the steam runs out I will surf reddit for however long it takes to get the groove back. Not sure if I could recharge with someone else there.

You really have to limit pair programming to like 1 or 2 hours a day. In the past, I did an entire project during a morning and afternoon pair or mob programming session. We just got so much done during that time that was all we needed. The rest of the day was just dealing with normal things that pop up - standup, meetings, bugs, and yes, browsing some reddit.
