19. The pain points - Junior
    I am slowing him down
    Sometimes I do not understand what he is saying
    I ask questions all the time

20. The pain points - Senior
    He is slowing me down
    We discuss a line of code for 10 minutes
    Can I just type in and move on?
    This seems like a one-way conversation
    What kind of pairing is this?

29. Final Thoughts
    ..Our willingness to
    work together could be the juice that will push technology forward. We will
    all have to master pair-programming (not just mentoring) to make this work.
    It will be awesome.
