Pairing vs. Code Review: Comparing Developer Cultures

I don't see the two practices as antithetical: complex features with a lot of potential pitfalls take advantage from pair programming; code reviews are perfect for BAU tasks.

I am a bit suspicious of the ecstatic tone that the author has while writing about pair programming: I am not sure I ever met someone who deeply enjoys it; at best it's seen as good practice, or a necessary evil.

I worked with the author at last_job and can attest to the genuineness of his tone. Pairing is pretty fun when you like your coworkers.

I'm confused, you're questioning the author's sincerity in expressing his own enjoyment of pair programming?

I deeply enjoy pairing. I know quite a few folks that do as well.

Ok, fine then :) I admit I've never met anyone so genuinely enthusiastic about pair programming, so it sounds unusual to me.

Give it a go sometime. It's the most fun I've had at a job.

I definitely genuinely enjoy pair programming as long as it's with the right person. In the end it's all about who you are working with.
