I know a lot of great devs who think very highly of PP, but as for me, it doesn't work well at all.

I just haven't had a great experience with it, though I remain open to trying it again.

I would agree. For most things, I don't find it very useful. Maybe if you're trying to learn how to use a tool, it can be worth sitting in, but for the plain mechanical tasks of coding, it's a waste of at least one person's time. If you're debugging something, you have to work at quarter speed or less - worse, if you've actually invested the effort to learn how to use your tools efficiently - as you'll be bouncing around too fast for anybody without a telepathic link to keep up with.

Bull sessions waiting for those slow-as-death Keurig machines everybody has replaced their good old drip pots with to finish making a tiny cup of coffee are just as good a use of your time, really.
