Good point. I always feel I’m doing something wrong if a task is “too easy to require pairing”. In my experience automating such tasks is often a fun/challenging task in itself. The result is an automated process and happy programmers

I just worked two days in pair doing TDD and I think the code which came out was of a much better quality than if I would have done it all by myself. Even my coworker admitted today as he started to work alone again that he did not got into TDD all by himself, whereas working together, this was no problem at all.
Of course, as always, you need to make sure pairing is the right approach for the problem (whereas TDD almost always is). Common sense.

“If you are working on a routine tedious task, how pairing with someone else will help you?” — how about by automating that task, so it never has been tedious again?

We’re using COMPUTERS! They were invented to replace tedious tasks!

Tjena.
Att man skulle hitta dig bara sådär… Googlade tjänstehanterare och Klinteback-blogg-sogeti flipprade förbi. Kollade Sogeti/Umeå men hittade ingen e-mail så det fick bli lite mer Googlande på Klintebäck; Foto (jajemän, där var du. Tunnare hår annars samma Fredrik). Tillbaka i Umeå. Grattis till tre fina flickor (själv har jag två,4+9). Läste även ditt blogg-inlägg om 80-talet (kännde igen allt:-)). Projekt Heureka … får kolla mer sedan
Har du någon annan e-post adress eller ska vi fortsätta träffas här?

Nice to see my “typing is not the bottleneck” phrase beginning to catch on after all these years!

As for me unit testing is always good and if there is any facilities to do that I do. But sometimes is hard and not worthwhile to implement due to environment. What is really useless is pair programming all the time. You must acknowledge that there a lot simple and template tasks that are routine. Instead of doing pair all the time let’s have a lot of conversations on design issues. I don’t hate pair itself, furthermore I need it from time to time. But it’s twice hard to pair simple, template task.

“If there are a lot of idle developers, introduce pair programming so it would looks like everybody at work “
