Re: [extremeprogramming] Pairing styles

I gave up on pairing (after about 6-7years of doing it) other than as a
tool to be pulled out to deal with certain issues contextually.  I see it
more of a tool to increase coding ability / discipline and for developing
shared understanding.   I found if individuals have good coding disciplines
then they tend to be way more productive working as individuals but still
having social conversations about design.
