Re: [extremeprogramming] Pairing styles

Where pairing can fall short is when neither partner is familiar with other
parts of the code base that contain functionality similar to what is being
worked on that could be refactored to reduce duplication and increase
reuse.  This is why I advocate a periodic mob refactoring session to reduce
duplication across the entire code base, even for teams that pair-program.
It also facilitates learning the whole code base and team communication.
If no other time makes sense, a good time to mob refactor is at the end of
iterations when new stories would not get completed anyway.
