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?

Oh JFC I had to look this trash up. What a waste of money. It could just as easily be a way for programmers to get black sidekicks. IDK. It's nonsense but I don't see it as exclusively 'feminization'.

Understandable. I wish I'd learned a trade. On black programmers, it wouldn't surprise me. It seems like a great way to hide mediocrity.
