Pair programming can be really fruitful. Either I feel like I'm teaching someone something (which I like) or I'm getting schooled (which I also like).

Both being stumped and fetching a third is also interesting. But usually it's a functional person not a dev.

Wdym? Are devs not functional?

I did an internship a few years back and they paired me with another intern to make a fairly simple python script. We were both so bad with git we ended up just sharing screen the whole time and writing the same code twice (once on each of our machines). It was not very efficient.

I urge you to spend the time and learn it. There's no future for a developer without version control.
