yeah that makes sense! it's great for sharing knowledge at the beginning, and we've been doing it a lot cause we're doing a new project this month. once the amount of new stuff getting added slows down then i hope we can go back to regular work.

I think pair programming can be great, but the secret is that it has to work for everyone who wants to do it. I like to work by myself sometimes so I wouldn't want to do pair programming everyday, but sometimes it is helpful especially when getting a project off the ground. When two developers are working together like that, you can branch away by establishing clear areas of ownership and then popping off and working on those areas separately, then consulting again when it is time to merge them together.
