I happened to "pair program" for the first time in years today! My coworker asked me to come over and help him with a problem.

'course we only did it for like 5 min to get him over the hump.

I think that's the only use case. It sucks having someone hover over you otherwise.

This sounds like ‘pair debugging’ which I’ve found to work pretty well. ‘Pair development’ isn’t something I’ve ever really found helpful, though.
