I was fine with mentoring junior developers until my manager decided pair programming was the way to go. I'm happy to help and teach, but like fuck am I going to sit at the same goddamn computer with some maroon all day. Can't even power-nap properly.

    Pair programing with a mentor shouldn't be a day to day thing. Like why waste the time and put so much pressure on the trainee like that anyways?

    pair programming can be really cool. if you have a complex problem, are roughly on the same level as the pair, are both motivated to do it.

    that is a huge if. also the reason why it should never be mandated. suggested at most.
