I would be at the beck and call of several of those beasts
as a sysadmin, maybe that was why the guy asked me if I have ever felt stomped upon and whether I could hold my own. hmmm things to think about
Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free American and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 55 years. meep

Now. Gimme those perms now!
I mean it. I'm trying to code here, I got a junior next to me who is supposed to be giving me help yet he's only distracting me. Those bastards said pair programming would be better. Fuckers.

Pair programming is fickle.
You need both programmers at a similar level of experience and ability, just with a somewhat different skillset. That's when it works the best and works amazingly well. It is when there is a noticeable difference in ability level that it doesn't work. (Been in both situations.)

Never had that dynamic
Time spent with equal or better coders was usually during the design / split out work phase, and then an occasional "Hey, you: I need another set of eyes".
Then project consolidation / hand off to the next guy as I went to the next project. Other than that, I usually had a well chosen junior who tagged along with everything I did, and supported my systems, but he knew to stay quiet when sitting near me while coding. |

What I figured a good dev can do.
And that is ask questions. And a good senior dev knows how to ask the right question when he has to try a thorny problem in someone else's head. :-) (Which is the "I need a second set of eyes" scenario.)
Good pair programming simply makes this happen a thousand times quicker. Wade. Static Scribblings http://staticsan.blogspot.com/
