Don't get me wrong, working with people can be great. However, I've sensed a weird compulsory nature to what I've see happening lately. I've see literature that suggests at least part of the reason for forcing pair programming is to dispel the notion that programming is a male-only, solitary job, thereby making it more attractive to women. What do you think?

Perfect analysis. I'm now in charge of a group of coders. You are spot on. Git code reviews is how we detect errors and Teams is how coders collaborate. I often help my team resolve issues via screen sharing. We do not do pair programming as such, except when one person needs help once in a while.

My biggest problem is with good coders misunderstanding what we want to achieve and they simply do the wrong thing. My team is pretty talented but if I don't watch them often enough, they do the wrong thing.

Yep. That sums it up pretty well.
